A so-so entry in one of my favourite series over the long term. I didn't like the central premise of the book at all though I'll see what happens after this book to judge that properly. I did like seeing more of the surrounding characters of the series though. Decent really I suppose, there's just been better.

Slightly surreal, dark tale about a family of orphaned children. I loved it. Enchanting is a good word to describe it. I didn't realise it was McEwan's first book - I like it better than some of the later stuff and it's very well polished.
