    I actually like this book. I have not read any of Ian mcewan's book until I joined a literature class in uni. I have to say, he is my favourite author. Good read. I do recomend it!

    Kinda like a mix between "Flowers in the Attic" and "Lord of the Flies".

    I think the development of the story was amazing. The narratice voice perfectly done and the characters written with complexity. Though much more "disturbing" than his other novels, McEwan emotionally and rawfully displays the lives of four children brought together and torn apart by the death of their parents. I was deeply moved and could relate to their pain and their subjugation to grief in a very powerful way. A brilliant read!
