Lessons
by Ian McEwan
Man… I am so glad that is finished and so frustrated that it went on so long and went no where. If this book hadn’t been for book club it would be in my DNF pile. Like lots of others I loved Atonement but this book just went on, and on and on. It was basically a man’s life from about 13/14 years of age right through to his 70’s and EVERYTHING that he experienced and it felt like he was involved in all historical occurrences during his life. Yes, there were some horrible things that he went through but it was just written like they occurred and he endured and I guessing eventually he dies. This book went on far too long and just didn’t need to examine this man’s life in minute detail. I feel like Ian McEwan is such a big name author no one is going to edit his work, or he won’t let anyone edit it. Shame it could have been better if it was more to a particular point.
