Title: Where was his editor??
Review: A talented writer--an awful story.There is no doubt Mr. McEwan can write--some of his prose is magical. But how depressing to read a whole book about how a child's mistake ruins two lives. And how tedious to re-read the detailed events from so many points of view (especially from the mother--how many descriptions of her migraines did we really need?) I wish his editor had been a bit braver and done some cutting. But even if the poor editor had, I fear I still would have found the novel slow and pointlessly sad.
