Saturday by Ian McEwan
2.0

I keep on reading his books hoping to enjoy one as much as I did Atonement, and I keep on finding myself disappointed. This one had some moments, but was much too slow for me. It wasn't just that it took forever for anything to happen (although it did), but that I had trouble finding any interest in the main character's meandering thought processes. If I enjoyed the character more then maybe I would have liked the peek into his head, but as it was I found him fairly dull, and had to force myself to keep picking this up again.
