I have a soft spot for McEwan, he has pulled me out of many a reading slumps. This one is just okay. He was trying to do too much, pulling in too many stories that bogged down the writing and just didn't work for me.
The premise of the book sounded exciting, but the execution was lacking.
I did like that he started with the ending, and you then see the story unraveling, but I was bored towards the middle and switched to audio. I am having a hard time putting my finger on what about this didn't work, in theory I enjoyed the main character, and her job could have been very interesting, along with her relationship with the writer. But there wasn't the depth or movement I needed to keep my attention.
