I have tried reading this book so many times but couldn't get into it. Eventually, I started skipping pages until I got to the end just to see what happens. I also tried to watch the film many times but again I couldn't stay focused (which is saying a lot as James McAvoy is very cute). It must just be me as everyone I know who has read it or watched the movie, loves it.
The best way to describe how I feel about this book is the movie Clockwise starring John Cleese. You either love it or hate it. Well I hated that film as it made me cringe all the way through and that's what this book makes me do. I felt no sympathy for Briony, couldn't relate to any of the characters and I wasn't captivated by the story. Again I think this is just me as this novel did win the Booker prize and is considered to be a work of great literary fiction. Nonetheless, I wasn't impressed.
Overall 0/5
