highly recommended

On a summer day in 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis witnesses a moment?s flirtation between her older sister, Cecilia, and Robbie Turner, the son of a servant. But Briony?s incomplete grasp of adult motives and her precocious imagination bring about a crime that will change all their lives, a crime whose repercussions Atonement follows through the chaos and carnage of World War II and into the close of the twentieth century.

Fascinating reading

I liked this book so much, especially with the movie adaptation. As is often the case, the psychological insight of the original book was invigorating to read. It is hard to see that some of us found the story less to their liking. In comparison with some quickreads, Atonement is something to savor and to come away from with wonder and even bittersweetness for the fate of its characters -- making a reader ask exactly what is real as Briony might have felt.

Great Book - Preferred the movie

I am a big fan of the movie. I enjoyed the book -beautifully written- however the tragedy of the story was almost too much for me to read. Everything is so much more vivid in print. It is one of the few times where I actually preferred the movie.
