2008-05-27 Gripping but annoying.

I have to say I found the tale gripping and I like reading McEwan's books as the style of writing make a change for me. But, and it is a biggish 'but' I cannot get over the stupidity and naivety of Colin and Mary - no one forced them into visiting Robert and Caroline's apartment for a second time, but visit they did with disastrous consequences. You'd think they would have enough warnings not to after the first time. Like a previous reviewer mentioning the fact that the couple could not find a restaurant in the evening, credibility is stretched.
