I finished reading this tonight. It sucked a big one. The book was so-so for the majority of the time, but it easily has one of the worst endings of all time. Just laughably stupid. So dumb and ridiculous. The characters are unlikable and their stories are uninteresting for the most part. At least McEwan took pity on his readers and limited this to only 193 pages, thank goodness.
This is my third McEwan. Here are my rankings of his books:
1. Atonement (really good)
2. Saturday (average)
3. Amsterdam (below average)
I wonder if I'll ever read a McEwan book again. Probably not anytime soon. Maybe once it has been long enough that I have forgotten how terrible the ending was in this book.
