I read this and I think it was my first Macomber book. I didn't care for it.

Oh wow! It's so good! I did have to get educated (by group member Shelby) about how and why the book and movie are so different. I enjoyed the enlightenment!

[Silver]

Hmm interesting, I haven’t seen the movie yet because I usually like to read the book first but now I am curious.

I think you will find that the movie is not as deep as the book. Which is in most cases for adaptations. But the movie is great in its own right and the acting is incredible.

I read this one this year as well and also gave it 4 stars. It was pretty interesting! I didn't know McEwan wrote science fiction. I'd only read Atonement before this.

I have read a few of his and to my present knowledge this is his only sci-fi. It was interesting though.
