Aelida asked this question about Atonement:

I watched the movie and it wasn't as good as I thought it would be...should I read the book??

Jonkonfui I loved the movie and I found the book extremely boring.

I think it is a good book to read in a book club because there are many things to discuss and analyze.
But if you read it for your own pleasure, the book is extremely dull.
i think the last part of the book (I mean the last 10 pages) are really good and make you see the book from a new perspective and, I think, this is why most people here say they loved it and stuff but the book in itself is very very very boring)(less)
