I just finished reading The Reader by Bernhard Schlink. I didn’t like anyone in it. Was I supposed to?

Well, I haven’t read it but was eager to see the film. YUCK. I didn’t like any of the characters in the film version and was bewildered by the attention it received.
“The Book Thief”- set in Germany during World War II with a female protagonist with a passion for reading – is a profound novel.
Have you read it?
