'Atonement'

Kind of a waste because it's exactly like the movie. Watch the movie and you've pretty much read the book.

It's a mixed bag, however. I mean, how would the film be any different?
What direction could they take the film? So of course it's the same. Then again, it devalues the book because you could just read the book and not lose anything.

Ian McEwan is ruining books for me.

On another note, this is the third book-film tandem that I've knocked out.
