Kristin's Book Log


Tuesday, August 01, 2006
Ian McEwan's Saturday was July's book group pick. It was only the second McEwan book I've read and it was very different than the other, The Innocent. Saturday takes place on a single Saturday in London. Many things happen on that one day to the protangonist, a neurosurgeon. While I was reading it I was reminded of some of Nicholson Baker's books like Mezzanine which take place in very compressed periods of times. I liked Saturday but didn't love it.
