A review by paulafaian
Atonement by Ian McEwan

  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

4.5

i was about to trash-talk the end but im contented with it. briony gets the attention she wants, and recognises there is no atonement. 
i think it was good how in the second part of her narration (part 3) she still puts herself as the focus of cecilia’s and robbie’s story. she can’t conceal her pettiness even in her attempt to redeem herself. even thought it made me mad, i think that’s truthful to her character.

4.5 because part 2 dragged on for too long
