A review by callme_gchord
Saturday by Ian McEwan

3.0

I took this book on as a challenge - a woman at work bet that no one could get through the entire thing. So I had pretty low expectations going in. And I do understand why she couldn't get through it. McEwan is extremely detailed in his writing and not a whole lot will happen in the course of the story. But what does happen is meant to be deeply meaningful and thought-provoking.

So although it took me awhile to get into the story, in the end I did enjoy it. Seemingly meaningless instances throughout the story come together in the end in an interesting way. Not life-changing by any means and I don't see myself going back and reading it again, but I'm glad I did read it.

If you can appreciate McEwan's style then I think it is a book worth reading.
