The Innocent

uh oh, three stars only. My book recommendation stock needs improving in the house of Dan.
Yes that one scene was brutal! I skipped a few pages there.

rating:
I read this on a reco from Tripp (thx Tripp) and blazed quickly (for me) through it in a week. It was the first McEwan I've read and enjoyed it quite a bit. Would have given another 1/2 star if I could. My knowledge of Cold War history is horrid, so the connections about Project Gold were lost on me until the Epilogue. Like Leonard, there were parts of the book that were tough on my English stomach, but the details, twists and turns were very snappy and not overcooked.
