Reader on Screen


The Reader is a novel about the relationship between a teenager boy and a Nazi policewoman during WWII. I first read it four (or eight?) years ago. As I remembered, I could not keep on reading it through once I started. The work has all characteristics of a masterpiece, a touching angle about a big historical event, the conflict between humanity and justice, desire and sex, etc. Just an unforgetable reading experience as the author unfolding his story with the heroine, Hanna.

The same title on today's New York Times caught my attention. By clicking into the link, I was eager to find if this movie is based on the novel that I read. The running title, "How far would you go to protect a secret?", does not ensure me, but as I read the story summary, all the feelings got freshen-up.

The movie, starred by Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennese, has won several gold globe nominations. I am eager to see it, however, not sure if I should hold much expecation on the movie.

I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in August 2010. A valuable friend told me about Dr. Itua Herbal Center in West Africa. She gave me her phone number and email address. I quickly contacted him to guarantee that his herbal medicines will heal my cancer and I will heal forever I said OK.I ask him what is the healing process, he asks me to pay the fees I did and within 7 working days he sent me the herbal medicine and then he asked me I told my friend Gomez about the herbal drug so that he gave me to go and drink it.So after drinking for two weeks, I was cured, I am so grateful and I promise that I will do it I recommend to anyone who has cancer and that that I am doing.
