Several people told me that they loved the beginning of this book but lost interest somewhere in the middle; for me, it was the opposite. I hit the halfway point, wearied of the pretentious writing and, I felt, unfocused and often unfair characterization of Briony, and was ready to finish the book out of a sense of obligation only, and then the second half redeemed it for me. I was far more satisfied with adult Briony than child Briony, and not just because the character herself had matured and grown more aware. I found McEwan's treatment of the young Briony patronizing and fundamentally unsympathetic, which made the early plot points which pivoted around her unbearable to slog through. The war section helped focus the narrative and pull it in from the floaty, long-winded, multi-perspective-d beginning, and I found the epilogue affecting, though admittedly a bit contrived. My one other complaint is that Cecilia never came together as a character for me. I'm glad I stuck with the book, though, and glad that a novel made good on its promise and improved as it went on.
