Solar: A Novel | Ian McEwan

so-so

This one never clicked for me. The main character reminded me of someone out of a Philip Roth novel.

Is this supposed to be a dark comedy? I found it amusing and enjoyable.

My Favorite Authors | Thomas Costley

#AuthorAMonth

We‘ve made it through May! While some people enjoyed McEwan‘s books, he was less well received than our previous authors.

Please post in comments if you want me to log the number of books you read this month. Or if you‘d prefer to post on your page, just tag me and use hashtag #AAMIME to be sure I see it.

Tomorrow we start Octavia Butler! I hope everyone will love her books!

Sweet Tooth: A Novel

ValerieAndBooks Alas I bailed....on two of his books 😞. I just couldn‘t get into either one (although one might have been a bail because I didn‘t like reading it online on a laptop — that one was from the library (I don‘t have a tablet right now). 4y

JaclynW I'm excited for Butler. I've never read any from her. I will start with Kindred. 4y

JaclynW I enjoyed reading McEwan. I read 1 for May. Sweet Tooth. 4y

MoonWitch94 Just one & it was a reread

Nutshell | Ian McEwan

pick

This was not exactly what I was expecting when I picked this one, but it was intriguing. The narrator is the unborn child of Trudy and John, and he is very intuitive about what is happening in his home. His parents are separated, mostly because Trudy is sleeping with Claude now, and the two are planning to kill John. The narration is poetic, which is fitting because John is a poet, and he used to read to Trudy and the baby often.

tjwill @Soubhiville I said I didn‘t read a McEwan in May, but I read it at the beginning of the month and have been so spacey that I forgot. I don‘t know how I did that since it was a very different sort of book. +1 #AAMIME 4y
