erynereads 's review for:
Lessons
by Ian McEwan
Let me start by saying I love Ian McEwan. I've always enjoyed his writing style, and the stories he creates. Sadly, Lessons was not for me. I tried to read it but couldn't get into the writing. I decided to try it in audio once it was out. While the first chapter had me engaged, I almost immediately lost interest close to the end. I kept pushing through, but ultimately DNF'd around the 20% mark. I couldn't connect to Roland, and while it was incredibly descriptive, I found myself bored.
I'm sure I'll be in the minority here because I've already seen some pretty great reviews of it, and maybe I'll go back to it someday. But right now, it's not for me.
Thank you to Knopf Publishing and NetGalley for the eARC and for providing me with the opportunity to provide my honest opinion.
