But now I must sleep.
Ian McEwan's Atonement is a great book, with all its dark twists and touching moments. During the first part of the book, the character development is subtle, and you can feel the sexual tension in the writing, exactly as the pain of the characters, that increases as the book goes by, and a lot of confusion they feel. Then, the second part is horrifying, and it makes you notice how the actions in the past can change everything around us. It gets you to see the story from another perspective, which is very interesting. The third part is great, too; it reforces the idea that our actions deeply affect our future, and it explores guilt, fear and love very well. It makes you think about how much people change during time, and how our actions can be so impulsive. I found the last part to be fulfilling and very thought provocking. Besides, it's touching and the ending makes your emotions spin. The storyline is very interesting, even if not too original and the characters are realistic and always likeable. I recommend this a lot
