This is a novel for people who really like words and language. In truth, I actually think the story takes second fiddle to the language, and how it is used so spectacularly at painting the most incredibly vivid pictures of every single moment in every single thought. Once you focus on the language suddenly the story creeps up over you, and it becomes riveting!

Yet another masterpiece by McEwan. The way he is able to span such different topics and environments is beyond compare.

Hard to follow, not enough story line

The story was well written and while the narration and description were unique the story itself was not. Narration was excellent.
