Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan

3.0

---

I will admit, this book was a little irritating. I get the point of it, and it's simultaneously clever and stupid at the same time. It feels like the book only ended the way it did as a "gotcha" to the reader, and I'm not sure if that was actually a good idea, but I still ended up being surprised, and I feel like I've missed out on half of this book by not knowing the end up front. In the end, I liked some aspects of its cleverness, I feel like it did explain other things I noticed throughout the book, but I still question the overall necessity of it.
