Saturday by Ian McEwan
4.0

I love that this book takes place in the duration of one day. While the beginning was slow, once it got moving, I started to really enjoy it. Ian McEwan has such a way with words, I find myself enraptured not by what's being said but rather the way it's being said. Some of the characters are a little underdeveloped, but I think that's Ian McEwan's style: to develop one character fully and leave the others sort of one-dimensional.
Overall, I really liked it and have been thinking about it since I finished.
