    The book delves into the residents of Amity in more depth than the film, but none of it is very interesting. Amity is a small town of about a thousand year-round residents, with the population increasing to around ten thousand during the summer. The year-round residents depend on the summer crowds to sustain them through the rest of the year, so when the pesky shark starts dining on tourists and Sheriff Brody is forced to close the beaches, it could spell doom for the town. The book does a good job setting this up, but adds two hugely unnecessary subplots, one simply boring and the other horrendously offensive on just about every level. We’ll start with the boring one.…

    The reader by Bernhard Schlink was published in 1995, as a parable on the post-war reactions to the atrocities of the past by the second generation of Germans towards the actions of the first generation. The book was written in the first person view of the narrator Michael Berg, from the perspective of himself as a 15 year old boy, and later as an approximately 50 year old man.
