What Members Thought
I hated the first half. I know why I hated it. There's a sense of impeding doom and it's far too flowering. So, of course, I blame Briony. The second half is far more enjoyable, sharing the aftermath of Briony's overactive and revengeful imagination. I didn't particularly like the movie so it would make sense that I didn't particularly like the book. The sense of senseless injustice distracts me completely from enjoying the characters or the story.

Stunning, most notably in its ending...
