Sweet Tooth
by Ian McEwan
Though advertised as a racy espionage thriller, Sweet Tooth, in standard McEwan fashion, runs far deeper than any single genre can define. Real life love is, like any emotion found in living beings, a complicated, multilayered and hard to describe feeling; but McEwan somehow perfectly grasps the meaning of this emotion and captures it with pen and paper in this book, through a fictional story so meticulously planned and rivetingly executed that it no longer feels fictional - reading Sweet Tooth transcends the mere recognition and understanding of text on a page, surpassing the importance of real life in the eye of an engrossed reader, thus achieving the ultimate goal of fiction itself: complete and utter escapism.
