branch_c 's review for:
Sweet Tooth
by Ian McEwan
Not my usual thing, but I thought I'd give it a try, and it was interesting enough to be worth it. The seventies setting was nicely done with plenty of period detail, and the plot was unique while also being believable.
I'm afraid I found the inner thoughts and motivations of the protagonist Serena to be a bit flighty at times, inconsistent with the solid intelligence and even wisdom she displayed at other times. Having reached the end of the book, McEwen may have cleverly given himself a plausible way to not take the blame for that.
I won't say any more; fans of literary fiction as well as espionage should find something to like here.
