Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan

2.0

---

Stubbornly, I refused to quit this book; the first 200 pages were a struggle. I found the final 100 pages more intriguing. McEwan had an interesting "angle" on a story of Cold War politics, history, and a love story. But the background and story felt far too slowly drawn out. At times it was hard to be interested, or even care for the characters.
