Reader #411 wrote: Atonement by Ian McEwan book and movie reviewI first attempted to read the book. I had heard they made a movie out of it, and I always try to read the books BEFORE watching the movie, so this is how I started. When I had read about 50 pages of the book, I put it down and decided to try the movie.
The book is written in intricate detail. Now there is descriptive-paint me a picture kind of detail, and then there is mind-numbingly excruciatingly-throw the book across the room detail. Atonement is the latter. After the first 4 chapters and the plot was not going anywhere I gave up. It was so annoying, I will never pick up another book by this author ever again!
The movie was acceptable. The storyline itself was pretty good, but it was a bit confusing at times and overall it didn't keep me interested through the entire thing. Sorry, but I have to say this was one I would not recommend. Grade Book-F, Movie C+
