That will introduce you to his love of capricious violence and outstandingly rendered characters. Where you go from there is up to you, but Amsterdam should be up there on the list. It won the Booker probably because they screwed up in not giving it to Atonement, but it's worth a close read nonetheless.(less)

I read this book a couple of years ago and I really enjoyed it. I'm not really attracted to thrillers though, which many of McEwen's seem to be. Can any fans recommend other books he wrote that are similar to Enduring Love, with an emphasis on people and psychology and little or no violence?
