Atonement 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! "

" 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. "

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

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

" 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, "

" 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. "
