Book Reviews of Atonement
Book Review: "Atonement " was not for me
Summary: 1 Stars
I can't understand how anyone liked this book, but it's good we have diverse tastes, I guess. I can't add much to previous reviewers who also hated this book, except that I found that even the rare interesting parts were completely unbelievable. Does anyone really believe that a first kiss would lead to first sex moments later, in the library, standing up, and with family nearby no less? I don't think so. And then would Lola and her "rapist", who turns out to be her boyfriend, really be in the mood to engage in the act while searching for her lost brothers? I skimmed most everything after the first 30 pages, because I kept expecting it to get better. If it hadn't been a gift from a close friend, I wouldn't have attempted to wade through the drivel at all. I'll rent the DVD eventually when I have a free rental coming up.
