For the first 300 pages I thought I didn't like this book. And I still find the first 20 of the 22 chapters dull, McEwan's style not engaging, and the story not worth a novel at all. It was only in chapter 21 when I got somewhat attached to the characters and became curious of their fate, but in the final 22 I was thrilled. The ending is a pretty clever twist to an otherwise boring story.

I would go for 2,5 stars if I could, with the additional half star being a sign of my appreciation of McEwan's truly comprehensible explanation of the Monty Hall problem.
