Atonement is a worthy read…. But do take care, I suspect Ian McEwan has crafted a wonderful shaggy dog story….

I found the book lacked some of the intellectual hype surrounding it. The first section mimiced the best of stately British novels but the war sequence was hyperbolic and failed to draw me in sufficently. The third second intrigued me but the ending seemed an immature form of questioning all forms of atonement

What an incredible and well written tale! It's amazing to me that a middle aged man can portray the inner workings of an adolescent female with such exactitude. Odviously, I was smitten from the very first chapter. But there is so much more...such intricacy and nuance! There is no comparison, in my mind, between this and Amsterdam. The latter novel pales in comparison.

Second in Excellence to Enduring Love -- The audiobooks create the movies I hope to see.
McEwan's manipulation of situations ensconces the reader in a delicate plethora of high art grammar. Simply, it's great!

by Ruthanne MASTERFUL! This book leads you through a tangle of lives and loves and wartime scenes that are devastating to read. McEwan has reached his zenith in ATONEMENT. A far cry from the dark and often dreary portrayals of AMSTERDAM!
If you are going to read McEwan, do read this book first!
