Summary
One windy spring day in the Chilterns Joe Rose's calm, organised life is shattered by a ballooning accident. The afternoon, Rose reflects, could have ended in mere tragedy, but for his brief meeting with Jed Parry. Unknown to Rose, something passes between them - something that gives birth in Parry to an obsession so powerful that it will test to the limits Rose's beloved scientific rationalism, threaten the love of his wife Clarissa and drive him to the brink of murder and madness.

Action literature
The novel has quite a lot of action for a "literary" work. Although the characters were interesting, none of them were at all likable, so it was hard to engage on an emotional level. The use of high-brow vocabulary and references were fitting to the protagonist's snobbishness, but also felt like the author showing off. The narration was (suitably) upper-crust, but this meant that, for me, it wasn't terribly pleasing to listen to. The recurring science references appealed to my geekish tendencies.

Brilliant writing, narration and storyline
I read this when it first came out, so it was wonderful to revisit this extraordinary story. The narration and characterisation were stunning. In true Ian McKewan style, this story was intriguing, tragic and beautifully paced. Eight and a half hours of indulgent pleasure.

Full of susprises
As usual, an excellent book. I enjoy Ian McEwan's ability to construct stories that are both captivating and full of interesting insights. The final part is probably the most interesting one from that point of view: bravo once again!

Brilliant reading of enduring love
The book itself is brilliant. The performance of the characters was great it was easy to distinguish who was who. My only note would be that personally I didn’t like the voices given to the female characters. They were a bit sharp and pointed at times which, as a woman I found mildly frustrating. But the range of the reader was fantastic.
