emscji's review against another edition
3.0
10/11/09: Dave Sharp is Ian McEwan's long-lost brother, and this is his life story, especially about finding his real family (including Ian) when he was 60 years old. Sharp is a bricklayer, and his story, though perhaps interesting to those obsessed with Ian McEwan, is otherwise not very exciting and not well-written. Lots of speculation about why his parents gave him up and how they felt about it--Sharp didn't find his family until his father had died and his mother had dementia--and interesting commentary on the differences between his life and his brother's. "Complete Surrender" is what the newspaper ad said that his parents placed when trying to find an adoptive home for their one-month old son.
