3,5.
Het begin vond ik helemaal niks. Daarna pakte het verhaal mij en dan weer niet en wel en niet en wel. Dus ik weet niet goed wat ik er nou echt van vind. Kut begin, top einde?

A mild touch of post modernism with the narrator. I appreciate how the sections seem to be written by a different author. This is the first book from this author I’ve read, but will read more!

I like it, especially the first part. But I really don't like Briony, and it gets worse toward the end.

It broke my heart! I've never felt this way about any story. For reasons I can't explain, this book really got under my skin - I love it so much it hurts.

in part one I did not enjoy the wordy and overly descriptive pages but it would not have hurt for there to be a bit more dialogue. I have seen the movie and quote frankly that is the only thing that kept me from putting the book down. I already knew the story was great. it was so dreadfully slow.
I'm part two I enjoyed it quite a big more. it was a faster pacing. I liked how it was mostly about Robbie's struggles. a lot more dialogue and more interesting characters. the romance was beautiful and the letters.
in part three it went back to the way I felt before. it was long and I didn't understand why they didnt go into detail about Robbie and Cecilia's fates. it was beautifully told in the movie. In the end I thought Briony had what was coming to her. a long life without her sister. she seemed unhappy.
overall it was pretty good.
