Post 3; The End

          I honestly didn’t really enjoy this novel. I thought it was really strange. I know, it was a different time, and that is not what the book was mainly about but I could not get over the age difference between Hanna and Micheal when they began their relationship. I think this was because of how deeply the relationship affected him. When the relationship was over he went numb because he was too young to have the adult relationship that he had with Hannah. He mistook lust for love and when it was over his heart was scared and he was cold. Once she comes back into his life, he is still unsure of how to act and though he acts cold he still sends her recordings of him reading. Some people felt bad for her but honestly I don’t. she was a guard, so on some level she knew what she was doing in the holocaust. She also knew what she was doing with the young boy who was recovering from an illness and whom she treated as a child while also sleeping with him. She also took the coward’s way out of life and committed suicide because of the guilt she felt for actions she committed instead of facing her crimes and fulfilling her sentence.
