I was amazed by how intellectual this book was, being frank! Most of my friends didn’t opt for this as a good read as it was using a different style and was pretty much like I said, intellectual for ones taste. It’s an excellent read, but not better than his previous book Atonement. It has a different feel than the other two, more of a modern day intrigue. The twist would literally make you throw the book towards the wall in the end. But yes, if you want a new style of writing and share the same taste for intellectual stories, this might definitely be a good pick.
