I read this book because of the Academy Awards. I was easily lost during it, probably because I didn't grow to love the characters. I liked the beginning, but not the middle or the end.

    I agree. I couldn't finish the book. The movie was actually much better, maybe because I just fine McEwan's writing so hard to take. I've read three of his books and have yet to feel much for any of his characters.

    I agree. The beginning was much better than the rest. and the end (when Briony is old) was terrible, in my opinion
