Negative Positive
Title: Torture, pure torture.
Review: Atonement is full of lovely phrases, but lacks the ability to carry you through the story. So many words, so little tiime.After struggling through the first one third of the book I finally just gave up and put it down. This novel is not for the reader who wants to be entertained, caught up in a good story, or likes an emotional presence in their reading. Thinking I had been too harsh in my analysis, I picked it up again a few weeks later. Same result. No heart.
