"I'm definitely going to turn into a McEwan fan. This one has bits of supernaturally type stuff in it, which I often find to be a complete turn off, but well done and I'll let an author get away with it. " — Kirsty (4 out of 5 stars)
"I'm definitely going to turn into a McEwan fan. This one has bits of supernaturally type stuff in it, which I often find to be a complete turn off, but well done and I'll let an author get away with it. "
" I like the ending - but had always hoped that "Kate" would show up again! "
" Dreamlike prose, strange, uncanny setting and beautiful and unexpected climax. "
" Don't waste your time. It was basically plot-less, with a resolution that just didn't make any sense. "
" A story of the disappearance of a child, and the parents trying to go on afterward. "
" A wonderful play on the themes of maturity and time. "
" Not the best of McEwan's novels but it marks an important shift in his writing. "
" How can I give 3 stars when that means "Liked it"? I honestly can´t say I "liked" this book. It was heartbreaking, heartwrenching. Parents shouldn´t read it at all. Of course, superbly written, which makes it even worse. "
