I read this back in about the year 2007. It was my first Ian McEwan book. I didn't love it. In fact, I didn't much like most of it. Any lengthy book that takes place in one single day just isn't going to do it for me.The first two-thirds of the book is fairly boring and uneventful. The last third of the book picks up and saves it from being a mostly useless book to being an ok book. The writing is good but the story isn't. Fortunately I gave McEwan another chance by reading 'Atonement' which is a far superior book to this one.
