Which to experience first....
Should you read the book first or watch the movie? Really, you could choose either. I read the book before seeing the movie, and it was one of the best reading experiences I've ever had. The prose is lush but not overdone, the characters finely drawn, and the plot ...

This is by far McEwan's darkest book and he sets the mood perfectly. Mary and Colin are on holiday, experiencing some unexplained dissatisfaction with each other until a seemingly random encounter with Robert. Robert introduces the couple to his wife Caroline, and ...
Amsterdam: A Novel
Ian McEwan
Anchor
, 1999
Thought provoking
I really enjoyed this little book. It was full of amazing twists and turns. This is a short book, but it is very interesting and captivating. Two friends meet at a funeral, and the following months are chronicled. The ins and outs of this two individuals is ...
Enduring Love: A Novel
Ian Mcewan
Anchor
, 1998
Forever changed
The year this novel came out, I was living in London, going to university and working part-time at a book store. Stocking fiction paperbacks every week, I noticed how many of McEwan's books we always had coming in, but the title Enduring Love caught my attention. There ...
The Child in Time

Anchor
, 1999
Amazing
Even though I was forced to read this for my A level.. I loved it. I was in floods of tears by the end of the first chapter and stayed with the plot to the end. The emotions that this book brought to the surface stayed with me for hours after I'd finished.
Atonement
Ian McEwan
Vintage
, 2002
Intriguing plot, and rare entree into the mind of a writer.
Though this book is only of average length, it has the feel of a big family saga, so completely does McEwan delve into the consciousness of his main characters as they attempt to cope with the long-term repercussions of a "crime" committed by a Briony Tallis, a naïve ...
On Chesil Beach
Ian Mcewan
Anchor
, 2008
Sun, sea and melancholy
The book itself is rather small in stature but when the story started my attention was instantly saturated with powerful intensity for it. I found this novel to be quite extraordinary and read it in one sitting - right after having oysters for brunch; I left ready and ...
The Innocent: A Novel
Ian McEwan
Anchor
, 1998
A startling and fascinating tale
The term "breath-taking" is one that book reviewers toss about with more ease than readers believe. but McEwan's post-war/thriller/romance can leave you breathless as it slips cannily from the everyday to the astonishing. People who could not imagine being caught up in ...
The Daydreamer (Joanna Cotler Books)
Ian Mcewan
HarperTrophy
, 2002
just what a little dreamer is looking for. - mysterious!
When I was around 8... 10? An avid readier, I remember finding this at the library and falling totally in love with its charm. When I couldn't remember the author's name and tried to find it again it seemed to have magically dissapeared as a book like this sort might. ...
First Love, Last Rites: Stories
Ian Mcewan
Anchor
, 1994
Early McEwan, promising but patchy
"First Love, Last Rites (FLLR)" is Ian McEwan's first short story collection and while I love virtually every novel he has written so far - "Enduring Love", "Black Dogs" and "Atonement" are truly modern classics - FLLR is very early McEwan, showing promise but lacking ...
Black Dogs: A Novel
Ian McEwan
Anchor
, 1998
An early gem
There simply is no such thing as a bad -- or mediocre, for that matter -- McEwan book. McEwan uses the backdrop of the fall of the Berlin wall to serve as a historical context to his examination of the lives of June and Bernard Tremaine. While on her honeymoon, June ...
Atonement
Ian McEwan
Nan A. Talese / Doubleday
, 2002
Reminiscent of Henry James, but with metafiction
Ian McEwan's Atonement has the feel of classical literature: an elegant and slightly formal style, generous details, and a straightforward plot. Briony Tallis, a spoiled British 13 year old, spies her older sister Cecilia and the caretaker's son Robbie as they wrestle ...
