Product Description:
The stunning new novel from the Booker Prize winning novelist. Saturday, February 15, 2003 - Henry Perowne wakes before dawn to find himself already in motion, drawn to the window of his bedroom. He is a contented man - a successful neurosurgeon, the devoted husband of Rosalind, and proud father of two grown-up children. What troubles Perowne as he stands at his window is the state of the world - the impending war against Iraq, and a general darkening and gathering pessimism since the attacks on New York and Washington eighteen months before. Later during this particular Saturday morning, Perowne makes his way to his weekly squash game with his anaesthetist, trying to avoid the hundreds of thousands of marchers filling the streets of London, protesting against the war. A minor accident in his car brings him into a confrontation with Baxter, a fidgety, aggressive, young man, on the edge of violence. To Perowne's professional eye, there appears to be something profoundly wrong with him. Towards the end of a day rich in incident Baxter appears at the Perowne home during a family reunion - with extraordinary consequences.

- Daughter-in-law will love it!!
The best I can do as a review is that my daughter-in-law loves books by Ian McEwan, so I know she'll be thrilled to receive this for Christmas. I read the reviews by others and it seems like a great book. Maybe I can get my dil to loan it to me after she reads it (a 2,000 mile trip for the loan ... between Texas and NYS). Amazon.com shipped it quickly and it arrived in great shape. Now I can finish up my packages for their trip to Texas well in advance of Christmas! Thanks Amazon.com!!

- Pretty good. Suspenseful, descriptive.
To me this felt a lot like Tom Wolfe, a microcosmic view into "a day in the life of....". It is well written, thoughtful and interesting. At times you feel jealous, sad, and angry about the main character.
Rating: - Excellent
This is a terrifically engaging and intelligent novel that is both meditative and pleasingly dense in vivid, narrative detail. Altough it swells with inner dialogue and deep explanation, there is deft movement to the story as it progresses from rumination to flashes of personal and potential horror and back again into the territory of character background.
The passing thoughts of the chief character, a British neurosurgeon gliding through a day off until things go awry, comprise the ... Read More
Rating: - Well worth the effort.
Ian McEwan has a voluble, poetic style, with most of his writing elaborating his characters' fleeting, chaotic, but insightful thoughts. He has a way of turning a second's reflection into pages of meditation, or a day into 279 pages, so that his characters seem unusually lucid, but still the reader can see familiar branches of thought that make the characters real. At times it can be exhausting to read, but McEwan skillfully tightens his vast web of character introspection into a cohesive and powerful ... Read More

- Worthless trivel...
Pass on this one, unless you wished to be bored to a new state of existence...not a pleasant one, to be sure...Worthless trivel is the mainstay of this novel...based on a stream of consciousness, it in no way approaches literary merit...Faulkner, this is not...For your own sense of well being, find another book to read...There is essentially no plot, no action, no theme, no story...Caveat emptor!!!
