fionnualalirsdottir 's review for:

Saturday by Ian McEwan

---

There were few pleasures for me in this quite ridiculous story but it did confirm my view that McEuan's novels are indeed as absurd as I had suspected after reading Enduring Love. I found the sections about neurosurgery interesting and well researched and the writing was elegant enough to encourage me to finish it even though I was tired of the continual air of menace that hung over the story from the beginning.
