On My Holiday I Read...Solar by Ian McEwen

Solar by Ian McEwen

Now, I have a confession to make. I didn't read this book. I only read the first chapter, and by then I had almost fainted from boredom. This was the first Ian McEwen book I had read, and it was so disappointing. The main character, Michael Beard is a pretentious, annoying, and whingey man who finds it shocking that his wife is having an affair, when he has been married four times before and had countless afairs. And he is a nobel prize winner.
That's as far as I got. I just couldn't stand to read it. And, I started it on a car journey so I was already bored and had nothing to do - but I couldn't bring myself to read this. It was just so disappointing.

That is why this book gets

0 STARS. 


Sorry.
