Critic reviews The movie version of "Atonement" became a mids phenomenon, but it's easy to see how an Austenesque family drama about a writer growing up during World War II in Britain would work better as a book, especially in Ian McEwan's masterful penmanship.

Scribd Editors. This is exceptionally good and has a sting in the tale that leaves you entirely uncertain of what to make of what you've just been reading. Starting in an idylic this is full of mixed messages and confusions about what is seen and what is the truth of that seeing.

We see this through the eyes of Briony, the youngest of the three Tallis children. She is 13 in and just at that difficult juntcure between childish enthusiam and the adult world. She has written a play for her three cousins from the North to perform with her in celebration of her brother Leon's return home.

What she sees over the course of the next day and how she badly misinterprets what she sees will mark the lives of the family for the rest of their lives. She observes interactions between her older sister Cecelia and the charlady's son, Robbie and is entirely out of her depth.

She also completely puts the wrong impression on how her cousin Lola gets to be in a particular state. What she then thinks she knows has happened putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with a bushel of potatoes is not what happened, and yet once it is said there is no drawing back.

There are estrangements and marriages formed this day that persist for much longer. The main part of the book was excelllent, the sting in the tail takes palce in the epilogue.

Here we discover that Briony has taken that talent for the inventive and become a novellist and what you have been reading is her novel of the events.

And the way this is written makes you doubt a lot of what you've just read, particularly with respect to the relaitonship status of Cecelia and Robbie.

Is Briony as unreliable now as she was then? Despite the passing of time? Has she made the relationship one way in the novel but did it end differently in real life? We're not to know, but that seed of doubt has been planted, most particularly by the seeming absence of certain people in the birthday party of the epilogue.

It is really very well done, this undermining of everything that has been built up over the last pages. I read this almost in one go, while travelling, and it was engrossing. It's been a long time since I was surrounded by such a literary pleasure: I wanted to devour it, I wanted savour it.

What an experience it's been to enjoy McEwan echoing Tolstoy in passing, and then without any warning at all, fluidly touching upon the hard problem of consciousness in a few paragraphs, only to let seemingly ordinary events unfold into the extraordinary depths of human psyche in turn. How easy the difficulty achievement seems, like a fugue of grandiose complexity, the laborious process behind it hidden by the harmonious performance, a feast for the mind to celebrate.

There are books that I wanted to read more than once, then there are books that I managed to read twice, but this book made me go back to some pages and re-read some phrases, as if to prolong their effects. Again, and again my mind was stimulated in the most unexpected ways, my facial expressions reflecting some of the strongest passages I've witnessed recently.

I'll always remember the abandoned hike from Calais to Istanbul, and Dunkirk's history that's dyed in fifty shades of vermilion. A great book, really, the more I revisit it the better it becomes. The account of the retreat to Dunkirk was very gripping and the ending has a magnificent twist. Brings things into focus very well. The mark of a good novel is knowing how it's going to end, but still being shocked and heartbroken when you get there.

I'm sure everyone has already said everything there is to be said about Atonement, a novel my mother proclaimed "the movie made me cry!

And I knew. This book is incredibly human. I think every single person will relate to it, because we all make mistakes we wish we could atone for and sometimes And we're forced to live with our guilt forever. Is there anything sadder than that? This book completely captivated me from the beginning. I think I cycled through every possibly feeling for Briony in the course of reading this novel. Gorgeous writing, even though this was a page gut punch. My favorite McEwan read to date!

The story is divided into four parts. Part one swept me away, just like Virginia Woolf did when I read Mrs. Dalloway some years ago. McEwan has deftly captured techniques employed by Woolf: the sharply detailed day, the sifting of events and perception and the 'bird's eye view' the reader experiences of some, but not all, events.

Absolutely perfect, so I found myself being jarred awake when Part 2 finds us suddenly 5 years forward in time, in France with the retreating English forces. While McEwan's technique remains more or less unchanged, the shift in setting - and narrator from Briony to Robbie - provides the reader with a sharply different experience, which, thankfully made it easier to slide into Part 3 and rejoin Briony, now a "nurse in training" in London.

The overall effect of the story, including the capstone of the final part where we fast forward to , is an exquisitely written, profound story of childhood awakening, love, war and the difficulty of absolution. So why no 5 star rating? A solid 5 star rating for Part 1, but the other parts did not enamour me to the same extent. Still, a wonderful read and a book I would highly recommend for Virginia Woolf and Mrs.

Dalloway fans out there. Literate, literary story of mistakes and their consequences that reverberate through the years. Not as gory as McEwan can be sometimes. The horror is more psychological than actual, unlike other books of his. This was a really good read. Although it begins rather slowly I actually read 40 pages, left it for 6 months, then revisited it , once it hits it's stride, I was unable to put it down.
