the movie was better and not just because of Kiera Knightly and James McAvoy, although I am literally obsessed with them.
The quality of writing is amazing - I give it five stars just for use of language. However, I also appreciated the character development, inventive plot, just plain interesting story.
Great read classic English WWII setting, McEwan writes so well, fantastic.
