the increadibly interesting and exact details sometimes stressed me out and slowed me down. i don't understand the game of squash, so i was stuck on those 6 pages for about 6 days. but then i read the rest of the book in one sitting. fittingly, i finished it at the very end of the day on saturday.
Deeply disappointing. The book is nearly 300 pages long and it takes more than 200 for anything to happen, but then it's over and resolved all too quickly and by then I couldn't wait for it to end. Some bits of Henry's reminiscing and intospection were entertaining, and I really liked the calmness and acceptance of the Perowne family dynamics. I skipped right over the extraneous squash game and political debate.

Well written.
A contemporary To the Lighthouse in its stream-of-consciousness of daily thoughts.
Interesting observations about literature and contemporary society combined with descriptions of the beauty of surgical proceedings, the competition drive in a squash game, and listening to music.

I was so glad when I found out I had to read this book for uni. After reading Atonement not to long ago I was really impressed with McEwan's writing style and wanted more. So I was pretty chuffed when this was one of the books I had to read. I have to say, I am a fan. I just love his writing style. The way he describes people's thought patterns and it doesn't get boring! (some people might disagree with me here).
If I'm honest, it took me ages to read. I think it's because it was an obligatory read though. I really need to get reading slowly, when I'm obligated, out of my system, as I'm going to have to read soooooo many more books.
I liked the way the book built up to the climax. I also liked the fact that McEwan made it really difficult to dislike Perowne, when I think he would probably maybe not really be a very likeable character. Very clever. Need to think about that more. Looking forward to analysing the book more in class.
