ENDURING LOVE Ian McEwan A dictionary defines the word addictive as being: wholly devoted to something‚ a slave to another and in a state of wanting more. Ian McEwan claimed that he wanted to write an opening chapter that had the same effect as a highly addictive drug. In my opinion he has achieved in doing this.

Judging Lines Between Reality and Imagination in Atonement As I read Atonement‚ by Ian McEwan‚ on the beach in Long Beach Island I was confronted with a somewhat new style of writing that I did not recognize. The splitting of the novel into three main parts only made sense to me after I had finished it; the account of the crime that took place at the Tallis household‚ Robbie Turner’s adventures at war‚ and Briony’s tales as a nurse were all connected and ended up “coming together” much more smoothly
