Second book of my book marathon yesterday: I really enjoy McEwan's style, and this was an entertaining romp but afterwards I kind of thought... this is a really unnecessary book, isn't it?

Wasn't thrilled with this. I enjoyed the prose and the length but overall felt the plot was lacking.

v short book but quite a lot happens. the style of writing was beautiful, to me similar to older classics, but a faster read. loved how not one of the characters was a good person, but for different reasons.
