Here's part of a book review for an old book club I was in... I started the
review but obviously never finished... still worth adding it in here...to remind me not to be so lazy in the future and to remind me which Ian McEwan's I've read...this was my first and I've gone on to read others... one day I might get around to reviewing those too.
ONE: Did the book live up to your expectations? Why or why not? Are you sorry/glad that you read it?
As usual, I had no major expectations of the book. I haven’t read any Ian McEwan but am glad for
the introduction! He’s interesting. I am not fully in love with this book, but it
was a quirky read with some really lovely language, funny dialogue and an interesting
look at friendship, in particular male friendship... so yeah, I am glad I read
it.
TWO: What
were some of the major themes of the book, and were they effectively developed?
Are they relevant to your life? Was there redemption in the book for any of the
characters?
The two most obvious themes to me are Ethics and Friendship...
