A review by razalar
Nutshell by Ian McEwan

1.0

This is clearly a love-hate book, based on the existing reviews. I hated it. Silly, inconsistent, and downright bizarre. This is a book that had it not been by a big name would have had publishers laughing the author out of the door. Honestly, it just felt like totally self-indulgent bollocks from start to finish. I’m not usually at all perturbed by sexual content (although often it’s a bit cringeworthy) but I found the sex scenes completely repulsive. Not sure why I felt compelled to hate-read it to the end - perhaps I was under the impression it would get better. Here’s to better books in 2018.
