In Between the Sheets: Story Collection Audiobook

" I enjoy the way this book is written. I just couldn't read about people having sex anymore. Just not that interesting so I stopped 3/4 the way through. I really do like his writing style though "

" i decided to plow through mcewan's body of work and am discovering that i really really like him, but kind of loathe his early books. ugh. they're dull and mannered and gimmicky. and this one is the bottom of the barrel. and while i don't particularly enjoy slamming a writer i admire i find it encouraging that the same guy who wrote this piece of shit went on to write atonement and on chesil beach... maybe one day i'll write a war and peace or don quixote? heh heh. "

" Deviantly genious, ...or ingeniously deviant? "

" Such a waste that I am not wasting another minute to write a review for it. "

" Some stories better than others and not really his best work in my opinion. "

" See First Love, Last Rites. "

" Some great stories and some not so great! Overall a little disappointing "

" Found this in a bookstore in Nairobi and I'm a sucker for Ian McEwan, particularly his macabre stuff! "

" Two of the three stars belong to the first story and the incredible sensations that produced on me. "

" This is one of those books that is criticism-proof, by virtue of being just so shocking and wrong. The horrifying things that happen in each story are so overwhelming that no story could actually contain or make sense of them, yet they leave indelible marks on you as a reader. Yikes! "

" again, read while in college, and again, found it bizarre but fascinating. "

" These stories will make you uneasy (but in a kinda good way.) "

" Scary short "erotica" pieces by one of the best writers ever. Scary. Creepy. Good. Not for the fainthearted. Unlikable characters abound. "

" Only read the story Dead as They Come for university, an odd and strangely compelling insight into the life of man corrupt by heartbreak and the over compensation of wealth but not overly striking enough to make it stand out from McEwan's work "

" Very very unsettling. McEwan manages to look at sex in a thoroughly unnerving and disturbing way while maintaining the veneer of normalcy in the stories. Just too weird for me. "

" This is not for the faint of heart. A lot of these stories are messed up, but in a good way. And some in a bad way. If you enjoy reading about the quirks of human sexuality, then is for you "

" I never really gave this book my proper attention. I can't really think why. Maybe I can't relate to it enough to understand/enjoy it. I might try it again sometime and see. "

" Another early McEwan read. Sordid, searing, seedy sex. Love it. "

" It was an amazing experience going through al those stories so different form one another,unpredictable,spiced with a little perversion,love,crime,incest,solitude and inocence.The author is truly unique in his manner of writing . "
