Helpful Score: 3
This is a hugely incredible book, but not for everyone. Many people I know who saw the movie first did not like the book. I love both the book and the movie. Atonement is deep and multi-layered, and is not light reading. Interestingly, readers come away with different impressions of the resolution of the story. Most of McEwan's work is too creepy for my taste, but this is one of my favorite books ever. I've read it several times, and each time something new is revealed.
