Saturday by Ian McEwan

3.0

3.5 stars. The story wasn’t necessarily enthralling but for some reason I just couldn’t put it down. Most of the book was pretty boring - not much happening aside from him running around town to meet people or run errands. He’d be in one place doing something and then it’s as if the character had a thought and just goes on this random inner tangent about something like his father -in-law’s estate or whatever. It picked up at the last 100 pages or so. Somehow, I feel like I’m missing the big picture or the message here. I kept thinking there’s going to be some crazy reveal in the end- he’s dreaming ! - he made it all up - he’s the one with the super rare brain disorder .. something, anything exciting !

*Sigh.*

Perhaps I’m not as “sophisticated” a reader as I’d like to think lol …
