libellum_aphrodite 's review for:

Saturday by Ian McEwan
1.0

I really liked Atonement, but this was awful. McEwan has some good passages and, of course, he has a fantastic way with words. But that couldn't even save this story about a perfectly happily rich family whose little world of perfect serenity cannot be broken by any seeming problem. And such characters do not put me in the proper mode for blatant authorial political opinion sprinkling either.
