  • This one was so-so. I haven't seen the movie yet. The book was good, it was kind of hard to get into. It was slow moving at the start, and then it picked up again.

    I was rather excited to read this book, but felt somewhat disappointed after reading it. There's a good message in the book, but it is kind of burried. I had a hard time getting through the begining; I found it to be a little slow. The character didn't really jump off the page at me. Although Ian McEwan is a master with the English language, I found a lot of emotion left out of this book. I just didn't really connect with any of the characters, but it was still a decent read. Sad to say this is the first time I might actually enjoy the movie better than the book.
