A review by beatrice_k
Atonement by Ian McEwan

5.0

I've been in love with the art of storytelling ever since I was four and my father recounted the story of the tortoise and the hare to my brothers and I--complete with character voices and wild hand gestures.

The magical power of a well told story is presented in Ian McEwan's Atonement. The writing is smooth, the transitions seamless--even as the points of view shift among different narrators.

If you're a writer, you'll love it. If you're a reader, you'll love it.
