Book 120 - "Amsterdam" by Ian McEwan
Tuesday, December 13th, 2005 06:19This extremely far-fetched story begins at the funeral of 46-year-old Molly Lane, and the main characters are three of her ex-lovers and her husband. It becomes clear that free-spirited and vivacious Molly had atrocious taste in men, as all four are thoroughly despicable in different ways. I read all 178 pages in one insomniac session in the early hours of yesterday morning, and although it didn't send me back to sleep, I can't say that I ever really got into it.
