But I can really recommend this one. Suzi: I resisted (for some unknown reason) reading McEwan’s novels…I just thought maybe they were being over-hyped. But I can really recommend this one.

Although I ultimately enjoyed <i>Atonement</i>, I almost gave up on it in the early pages. I have yet to read <i>Saturday</i> but have heard good things about it. Lightheaded: Thanks :)

I'll get to it eventually. I loved Atonement and enjoyed Saturday, but loathed Enduring Love. Amsterdam left me shaking my head. So you liked this one better than Atonement, eh?

Rhinoa: Hope you'll enjoy it! Let me know :) And thanks for reading my blog! Lisa: Thank you! I don't know too many people who didn't love Northern Exposure (at least in my generation... :)) Bobbi: Thanks - hope you'll get to read it soon. Andi: You know, I have never read an Oates book...and now I know I must!

McEwan writes tension so very well, and like Joyce Carol Oates, I can never thank him enough for making me supremely uncomfortable. :D Glad you liked this one. Yes, yes, yes!!!
