On Chesil Beach

I’ve been a fan of Ian McEwan for a few years now and I absolutely loved his previous book, _Saturday_, so when I saw he had a new one, I couldn’t
wait to pick it up. On Chesil Beach is a tiny book
and I read the whole thing in an hour. While the last 5 pages were fantastic, I can’t say that for the rest of the book. It was bleh. It went on and on and about
something I didn’t care too much to read about. I didn’t care about the characters enough to care. It was sweet, elegant and a fast read but it was definitely not up to his potential.
