Helpful Score: 3
The fluid, intellectual writing of Ian McEwan, which drives a superb and deeply-felt plot, makes "Atonement" a must-read for any person. I could hardly believe the book was written recently - it feels as though the author wrote it while living the life presented in the book himself! A human tale of mistakes, jealousy, true love, and the way in which we enter into these emotions and how we deal with them later, written in a period-exact style. I absolutely recommend this astonishing book - DO read it. You will recognize many of the inner turmoils of the characters and will more-than-likely be thinking of this book long after you finish it the first time. The movie is wonderful, too!
