Reviews
"Darkly impressive." -- The Times "A superb achievement: his prose has instant, lucid beauty and his narrative voice has a perfect poise and certainty. His account of deprivation and survival is marvellously sure, and the imaginative alignment of his story is exactly right." -- Tom Paulin "Marvellously creates the atmosphere of youngsters given that instant adulthood they all crave, where the ordinary takes on a mysterious glow and the extraordinary seems rather commonplace. It is difficult to fault the writing or the construction of this eerie fable." -- Sunday Times "A shocking book, morbid, full of repellant imagery - and irresistibly readable...The effect achieved by McEwan's quiet, precise and sensuous touch is that of magic realism -- a transfiguration of the ordinary that has far stronger retinal and visceral impact than the flabby surrealism of so many experimental novels." -- New York Review of Books "His writing is exact, tender, funny, voluptuous, disturbing." -- The Times "The Maestro." -- New Statesman "McEwan has--a style and a vision of life of his own...No one interested in the state and mood of contemporary Britain can afford not to read him." -- John Fowles "A sparkling and adventurous writer." -- Dennis Potter, "A shocking book, morbid, full of repellant imagery--and irresistibly readable.... The effect achieved by McEwan's quiet, precise and sensuous touch is that of magic realism--a transfiguration of the ordinary that has far stronger retinal and visceral impact than the flabby surrealism of so many experimental novels." -- New York Review of Books "Possesses the suspense and chilling impact of Lord of the Flies ." -- Washington Post Book World "Darkly impressive." -- The Times "A superb achievement: his prose has instant, lucid beauty and his narrative voice has a perfect poise and certainty.
