Solar by Ian McEwan
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
Was greatly disappointed in this one... And this is the first time I've said this of an Ian McEwan novel. I loved his previous works but this one was 283 pages worth of a brilliant author telling a very depressing tale that could have been told in 150 pages or less.
Others might find the Rabelasian mix of intellect and bodily functions funny, but I didn't enjoy the story of a brilliant intellectual bereft of morality at all.
Don't get me wrong. I am and will always be a fan of McEwan's. This book ought to be considered an anomaly.
