so another month, another book....Atonement by Ian McEwan. Everyone said it was a really hard read...and it was! I waited until the very last day to finish...but I am so glad that I did. I really felt the book was beautifully written and definately a different book than most I have read. I really liked the book and I thought it spoke about some interesting things...it made me think....
1. Do I remember a certain point when I graduated from child onto adulthood?
2. Is there something I have done so terrible that had damaging effects on someone else?
3. Is there a wrong that I could right?
4. How would I feel If I got a letter like the one Robbie gave Cecelia....woooie.
After watching the movie I decided the book portrayed so many things much much better and gave you much more insight into the whole picture. I would say that Briony was played to a "T" maybe even moreso a brat than in the book. Any way...thanks Ashlie for hosting and for the great discussion!
