Download Atonement: A Novel Audiobook

" Amazing, amazing book. McEwan makes the world seen through the eyes of a thirteen year old girl so nefarious; her determination to be viewed as an adult leads to a fateful mistake that will forever disrupt several lives including that of her older sister Cecilia and her lover Robbie... "

" This has to be one of my top 5 all time favorites. The story is incredible. The characters are original and developed in such a way that you can't help but become involved in their stories. I became emotionally attached to each character. The ending of the book completely surprised me. This was the type of book that left me wanting more. "

" now this is a great book! "

" feels. FEELS. after finishing this book i had to sit and contemplate it. it's unlike any book i've ever read. while boring at some parts, everything comes together in the end to make the reader (well at least me) freak out and flail around my room. the narration, while it annoyed me at some parts, was absolutely crucial in making the book stand out to me so much as it did. loved it! "

" How boring....I hate to give up on a book and I hoped it would be better than the movie so I kept trying...oh well "

" A very good book. Another look at war in England. "

" The story is really good but sometimes hard to read. "

" An example of Book v Film .... book wins "

" This is a WONDERFUL book, one of the best books I have ever read. I had seen the movie some years ago, and fortunately had forgotten alot of the story, which came back to me as I read the book. The movie was excellent too, but really, you must read the book, it's a treasure. "

" Atonement is hands down the best book that I've read by Ian McEwan. "

" One of the finest works of fiction I've ever read, disturbing, human, and brilliant. "

" I actually saw the movie first and really liked it a great deal. The book is always better. "

" One of the best books I've ever read! "

" Fantastic book. Beautifully written. Definitely bittersweet and tragic. Great read. "

" Sententies blew me away: well balanced book of a writer's life and coming of age "

" Just could not get into this story! "

" Great study of how one choice can change the lives of many, completely. "

" I think this was my second Ian McEwan book- Saturday is my favourite but I strongly enjoyed this- much better than the movie-thoguh Kiera Knightley's green dress in the movie is stunning :) "

" What I love most about this book is the "ending". Period. "

" I’m not a big McEwan fan, but I have to admit this novel is both ingenious and deeply moving. "

" I preferred the book's ending to the movie's ending. "

" I wish that I hadn't seen the movie, because I think the story works best if you can let it unfold and not try to guess at what happens next. The writing it beautiful "

" There is a reason this was made into a movie. Best McEwan book I've read. "

" Three-point-five stars was what I had in mind. But four-stars will do. I love the prose, the momentum of its flow. And it's quiet a sad book. I suppose the best method of atonement is storytelling, especially the way story can revise something in memory, "

" Was a little disappointed in this book. It was just ok. "

" One of the best books that I have ever read, period. "

" This was a book I chose to read picked out for my in depth study in English this winter. Mostly because I've seen the movie and liked that very much. For me "Atonement" was a good thinking book, with a lot of nice descriptions. "

" Consistently amazing sentence construction, though at some points the narrative seemed a bit soft. "

" I'm not sure if I was just reading this book at the wrong time or if I really couldn't just get into it but after almost 1/3 of the way through, I still wasn't pulled in. Every time I started reading it, I struggled to stay focused. Finally I just gave up and moved on. "

" This was a TOUGH book to get through, but I'm glad I did. Good story, but the writing (like it or not) is very metaphorical and hazy. This makes for a slow pace, but the style is somewhat necessary and serves a purpose, once the "twist" ending is revealed. "
