REVIEW: of Atonement, Ian McEwan (Charles Murtaugh, Blogcritics)

McEwan is often labeled a cold fish, and not without justification, but in this novel he makes us care more deeply about his characters than in any other that I've read. I personally found it hard to put down the book, I was so worried about the fate of his almost helpless dramatis personae.

Though dubious about Ian McEwan's prior novels, such plaudits from Brother Murtaugh are enough to at least pique our interest. Posted by Orrin Judd at September 25, 2002 7:26 PM
