Journal Entry 1 by inkognitoh from Port Macquarie, New South Wales Australia on Wednesday, August 4, 2004
Purchased from ebay with three other Ian McEwan books. I'm really looking forward to reading this one as I thoroughly enjoyed 'Atonement', the only McEwan I've read so far.

I enjoy McEwan's dark explorations into the sibling relationship and this one was darker than most. The story wove out slowly, tempting me with a desire for it to be more sordid and explicit. Part way through this book, I vaguely remember having seen it as a movie but now I'm doubting myself as it's seriously dark and strange territory; did they really make a film of it?

Anyway great characterisation, disturbing material and an interesting story come together to form a twistedly good read.
