dasha_dar 's review for:

Atonement by Ian McEwan
3.75
challenging dark sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I did not enjoy the prose and pace of this book. By the time various twists came about, I didn’t care. The main character was hard to sympathize with, which I believe was intentional, but I wasn’t rooting for anyone.
