k5tog 's review for:

Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan
4.0

One of the reasons that I really enjoy Ian McEwan's books are the surprising plot turns. While not as good in my opinion as Atonement, this book was very enjoyable. I loved the way it started in Cambridge where I was lucky enough to spend my junior year of college. It brought back some great memories! The protagonist, Serena, is not a perfect person - flawed in many ways, naive, unable to stand up for herself in the male dominated world of MI5. But yet, you hope for the best for her, despite her mistakes. The male characters are a bit like caricatures, but that's o.k. too.
