Atonement

Somehow I have managed to catch up on my reading this week as it is week five of my reading oddessy and I am currently reading book six.  Anyways to get to the point today I am looking at Atonement by Ian McEwan.  I have watched the movie a couple years ago when it just came out and so I had a basic outline of what was going to happen but I didn't remember a bit of the information or pertinent bits of story plot.  So reading this was interesting, especially the fact that I was completely unable to concentrate or get into the story.  I don't know if it was just because I knew the story had a depressing ending or if it was because I just was tired of reading.  Anyways I just couldn't really get into this book and basically forced myself to finish the book on last Sunday, meaning I sat down with the book and just read to the end.
I think what I didn't like about this book was the style that it was written in.  It was written in a dreamlike state for the main character for much of it until the end, because she is writing trying to atone, and then it is still kind of dream like for the male character.  I don't know what it was about the book but I really didn't enjoy it, and this just doesn't happen to me so I am confused.

Next time will hopefully include my sock, which is done.
