Even though this is a pretty short article, it gives a quite accurate overview of Enduring Love. I must certainly agree with the phrase: "How the story plays itself out is too exciting to be spoiled by revealing what happens," though I was definitely quite displeased with the ending of the novel. It seemed to me as if something was missing, as if the last chapters were rushed. The exquisite exposition of the novel left the readers with huge expectations for the remaining of the book. Unfortunately, as the book progressed, the writing became weaker and weaker. -
"But instead the story veers into the sort of dark psychological obsessiveness typical of McEwan's fiction(...)" The article gives a brief, but at the same time vary valid summary of the book. It can give us a sense of how complicated the book really is, it drags the reader in. By using phrases like the one I listed before, we can get a sense of what the book will be like. We also learn that the book isn't like all the others written by McEwan. -
The article actually expresses my thoughts on the book. I also thought that the beginnig was great. It included a lot of detail and suspense. I was very curious to read on. The end of the novel seemed very rushed. Half of the characters of "Enduring Love" were introduced in the last few chapters. They weren't developed well and because of this it was hard for the reader to remember who is who. -
This article is quite insightful as it pushes on the isues of mindbreaking scenes. The novel starts of slow with a slight accent on setting and a subtle way of introducing confilct. However, at the end it transforms into sudden action which results with a climax below expectation, as if the author was pursued by a dedline.
