Diane  (dianedj) Hi everyone-
Saad, I read this book awhile ago and Like Sarah, would love to join in with you once you finish it. I may also recommend watching the movie when done with the book.

Melissa Harris Sounds great. I'll be on vacation that first week, but I'll read ahead, and catch up after if I need to.

Karla (bookarita) | 289 comments I'm still so shocked how we went from talking about The lovely Bones to reading Attonement so quickly....lol...Not!!


message 10: by Diane (new)

Diane  (dianedj) I've read the book and watched the movie so I'll be popping in to chat along with everyone on both topics.
I hope you all enjoy the book!

Jennifer (JenJen1221) | 42 comments I read the book awhile back and watched the movie when it first came out. I'll just pop in and add in to the discussion.

Enjoy the book everyone!!!

Emmeviene | 3 comments I've seen the movie and didn't like it all. I hope the book is better.


message 13: by Melissa (new)

Melissa Harris Has anyone gotten any farther in this book? I'm trudging through it. I was hoping someone could tell me it gets better. From the reviews I've read, it sounds like it must. But I'm having the same questions as you Saad..


message 14: by Karla (new)

Karla (bookarita) | 289 comments I have read a little further but other books are looking to be more interesting for me at the moment as well. I just can't seem to really love the characters yet. Briony seems to be the most self centered, every thing revolves around her child. Where as Cecilia seems more down to earth but stuck upidy in her own ways. The discriptive writting is eloquent and has a beauty all its own but I have to have a story that pulls me in more right now, I guess. I will finish this but it well be slowly I'm guessing. It is on my 2010 reading goals list so I will have to push on.


message 15: by Melissa (new)

Melissa Harris Okay, if you're keepin on, I'll keep on too Karla. To be finished in 2010! But I will be picking up other books in between too. I agree that the writing is beautiful and I do want to finish .. here's to hoping the story gets more interesting.



message 16: by Karla (new)

Karla (bookarita) | 289 comments Cheers to that! I'm feeling like a snail running with this one. But I have read several great books inbetween if I'd pick a book that wasn't pulling me in so much I could focus on this one more. I also have a buddy read I have to start on the first that well slow me down also hmmmm....


message 17: by DJ (new)

DJ  (djdivaofjava) | 659 comments Hi I'm waiting to read it toward the end as (and please take no offense Saad)but I cannot read to this schedule as it reeks of being back at school and would spoil my enjoyment and make me resent reading the book at all.
So I'll see everybody at the end...
Happy Reading to all.


message 18: by Melissa (new)

Melissa Harris lol! that's funny DJ ~ the schedule was actually comforting to me because it IS like being back in school

altho, just like back in school, I haven't been following the schedule ... (sigh)


message 19: by DJ (new)

DJ  (djdivaofjava) | 659 comments Ah,you see I had terrible teachers who kept interrupting my reading and giving me books to read that I had read in Primary School...So no good memories of comfort for me.I'm glad that you are finding the opposite to be true!
Guess the thing about me is that I am having a delayed adolescence and don't appreciate having to do things to order in my spare time...
So can't say anything about the book as haven't started yet....Its gonna be fun trying to get it finished at the moment...So is it the very final discussion that starts on 7th February?If you know could you let me know.....
Take Care. :-)


message 20: by Melissa (new)

Melissa Harris Well, I think that was the original schedule, but I'm not sure if anyone is really following the schedule so I'm guessing it might now happen that soon.

Not sure though. Anyone else??
