Atonement is still his masterpiece & Amsterdam is the only one I truly didn't care for. <br/> <br/>Black Dogs is about many things: family,friends, memories, and regret. I love the language McEwan uses to describe simple things. It sets him apart from other male writers. <br/>Women are considered to be more descriptive but McEwan gives them a run for their money. <br/> <br/>Black Dogs is more optimistic than Atonement which was a complete downer. I'm looking forward to reading his other novels that I haven't gotten to yet. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/11600?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
