Flipkart provided the book within the delivery period in great condition, as usual.
This book is phenomenal. Beautifully written, it delves into the mind of a thirteen year old who wreaks havoc in the grown ups' lives. She is neither woman nor girl, an inbetween, a misfit. Having seen a horrible thing happen to her cousin she imagines, and almost wishes with a feral hope that it is Robbie, her sister's 'attacker'.

Atonement is a story that will take your breath away.Even though I almost always read thrillers or biographies, this book touched me deeply.The film version, as far as I can gather from the trailer,is more concerned about the fate of two star crossed lovers who are destined never to meet.However, in the book the most tragic figure is that of Briony Tallis who atones throughout her life for the mistakes that she had committed when she was a young girl even though the fate of her sister and her...

Good everything .

A great reading

Not so good.

I am a tragedy lover and from that perspective it's a very decent pick.

If one doesn't like this book get lost. ???

The story told by a girl who became the reason for her sister and her lover to be separated,a tale of unsuccessful love.this is the masterpiece, already it is acclaimed as one of the best novel of the decade. a must have..

And the flipkart you rulzzzz.......

Very rarely you read a novel these days where full justice has been made on the engilsh language and the emotional content of the plot . I believe Ian has done just both of them very successfully. After Ii read the book I saw the movie and the n went back for second reading. The passion , the pathos the uncontrolable consequences in our lives have been depicted by Ian Mcewan is commendable . The tragedy is almost similar to the tragedies in greek dramas .
