More than halfway through. I really don’t like this book. Has an editor laid even one eye on it? Endless unnecessary paragraphs and confusing characters. Miriam, set up as unlikable and untrustworthy, suddenly has this backstory that feels as if the author thought of it at page 150 and ran with it. Adam had potential, but bores me to death at this stage. And don’t event get me started on this Turing character.

Not gonna lie, most of the book so far has been very boring. McEwan loses the plot in endless paragraphs about God knows what and I simply didn’t see the point nor was it easy to follow. But now that he has finally picked up the plot it’s good.

Let’s all be proud that I didn’t let this horrendous cover deter me from reading this book. Trust the author.
