A review by cadyly
The Child in Time by Ian McEwan

1.0

This book disappointed me. I picked it from the fiction section in the library in a bid to find an author that I hadn't read before. This author had many books on the shelf (has to be good if he's published lots of books, right?) and the premise of the story -- about a man dealing with the aftermath of the kidnapping of his daughter -- was intriguing.

Unfortunately, the book was filled with unimportant details and plodded slowly to nowhere. It was so hard to get into the story. And when I was reading, I wasn't enjoying it. Which is odd for me. I love to read.
