"As a blind person from Turkey, I read The Reader in English. It was one of the books I read here when I arrived. When someone is reading to you, he or she puts his emotions, intonation and feelings; it's more personal. So I took the book, The Reader, just because of the title. This book is about a boy and his relation with an ex-SS police officer. The sequence of the events were really designed well, and when I was reading the part about Auschwitz…the adventures of the main character in the way to visit concentration camps. It was so vivid, and I also visited that placed, and it reminds me what I felt when I visited. He comes up with some philosophical questions when we have the right to help somebody, even if he or she doesn't want to be helped. I think the people who like something different, something interesting, they will like that book. I would again five out of five to The Reader because it was really different while I was listening so far."
