Customer Reviews
Extremely hard going, but... - Rated My 13 year old daughters opinion on the book: This book was very difficult to begin with- and its very slow. However, once you get to the 2nd part ( its divided into 4), IT GETS BRILLIANT. However, I must admit, I only read it because of the film. If I hadnt seen the film beforehand, then this book would have been tossed aside. Poor - Rated This has got to be the worst film ever! It was a very slow story line and then there wasn't much to it after that! the atonement book - Rated Well im an avid reader of various types of literature, and i found this book so boring at first that i decided to start another book instead, then decided as my son had bought me the dvd to watch, i should at least give it another go before i watched the dvd, so i persisted, its just so slow... it took me to about page 100 and something to actually become more interesting, then i started to enjoy it. I wouldnt rate it as a must read book or the dvd neither though. Some may find it hard going but press on! It is worth it! - Rated I have never been interested stories set during wars but this one had me hooked, although I admit, not the first time I tackled it. I love Ian McEwan's writing style but being someone with a mind that wanders easily, I have had to really concentrate on each one to reach the end! And although there seem to be quite a few of these 'old lady remembering the past' stories knocking around at the moment, this one is definitely worth sticking with through to the end. HARD GOING - Rated Read through to the Library bit thinking that I really couldn't stand much more, then turned the pages through to the war chapters. This part was incredibly written and I enjoyed it immensely. The ending was so enigmatic that I couldn't sort out what had happened - but perhaps that was the point but I couldn't be bothered. As far as I am concerned a mainly unsatisfactory novel and my copy has gone to the charity shop as certainly not worth a second read.
