A review by hollabills8
Atonement by Ian McEwan

3.5

I really thought this was going to be a five star read for me. That being said, going In I did not know it would focus so heavily on the war, which is something I don't enjoy reading about. I found a lot of things interesting. The focus on different perspectives regarding the same event, the way youth was presented, the yearning, and overall I do think it was a good book. Just a bit of a slog at times which I don't love even when it's purposeful. I also didn't really see a huge plot twist. Idk if I wasn't paying enough attention or whatever or I just already knew it ended sadly but it didn't amaze me. Idk I wished I loved it more.
