I have nothing good to say about this book. I wanted to try a McEwan novel before reading ‘Atonement’ and I was sorely disappointed. I felt there was a lot of over-writing by the author so much so that you get lost in the descriptions, a lot of it is list like and doesn’t flow with the story. Speaking of, there wasn’t much of one.
