Publisher's Summary

One windy spring day in the Chilterns Joe Rose's calm, organised life is shattered by a ballooning accident. The afternoon, Rose reflects, could have ended in mere tragedy, but for his brief meeting with Jed Parry. Unknown to Rose, something passes between them - something that gives birth in Parry to an obsession so powerful that it will test to the limits Rose's beloved scientific rationalism, threaten the love of his wife Clarissa and drive him to the brink of murder and madness.

Absolutely thrilling!

This piece of art by Ian McEwan is one that shows his absolute dominance in narration and storytelling of modern literature.

Action literature

The novel has quite a lot of action for a "literary" work. Although the characters were interesting, none of them were at all likable, so it was hard to engage on an emotional level. The use of high-brow vocabulary and references were fitting to the protagonist's snobbishness, but also felt like the author showing off. The narration was (suitably) upper-crust, but this meant that, for me, it wasn't terribly pleasing to listen to. The recurring science references appealed to my geekish tendencies.

Brilliant reading of enduring love

The book itself is brilliant. The performance of the characters was great it was easy to distinguish who was who. My only note would be that personally I didn’t like the voices given to the female characters. They were a bit sharp and pointed at times which, as a woman I found mildly frustrating. But the range of the reader was fantastic.

Disappointed

I loved the twists and turns of McEwan’s Atonement so I was looking forward to this book. I found it dragged and then came to an unsatisfactory end. I will not be recommending it.

Engagingly written

Very much enjoyed the arc of this story, peppered with interesting side bars on science, psychology and memory. The narrator of the book is good, however took long inhalations regularly which irritated me. Otherwise, very good.

Anti Christian

Brilliant writing. Mocking Christians by making the idiotic believer the lunatic. Come on, really?

awesome story greatly written!

The book is written extremely well and the voice used for the recording makes it even better.

An excellent read!
