Read this book a while back, and decided to read it again before i watched the movie, slow at first it reads pretty well after that, i really enjoyed it but i found that i was angry a lot so i skipped parts just to figure out what was going on. Great story, and i think that it will become one of tho...

No me lo esperaba, pero prefiero la película. Me gustaron mas los personajes allá. Siento que era importante caracterizarlos muy bien porque la historia es llevada por sus reacciones y en este caso siento que la película lo consiguió y el libro no tanto.Tengo ganas de leer otros libros del autor. Ha...

I don't usually read popular fiction, so McEwan's Atonement was a new experience. I can't say I was thrilled, but I wasn't horrified either. Atonement reads like standard Oscar-bait romance fare (no surprise, then, to see the film version's critical success), and only the last few pages diverge sudd...

I would give most of the book 3 stars. It was a good story - but his writing is really dense, I often drifted off in my own thoughts while reading it only to have to remind myself that I was reading.But that library sex scene bumped it up one star. Good book overall.

The whole novel is excellent (minus the war episode - still something I can't put up with), but the last 18 pages or so are freaking brilliant!

The hot English summer of 1935 shimmered with the potential for tragedy. There were rumblings of another war with Germany, a war that would eventually bring devestation to England. Yet there was another, deeper tragedy that affected the sprawling country home of the Tallis family. Young Briony is...

SPOILERS THROUGHOUT.This is probably the worst book I have ever read.I've read some fairly bad books - I've read Twilight - but this was something else. This was awful. Everything about it, from beginning to end, was just very, very, inexcusably bad.Let's take the first part - the part where all t...
