Meh. Is the best work I could come up with. Atonement in my opinion wasn't fantastic and it wasn't horrible. I've read worse books, but I've definitely read better. The book was better than the movie I thought as there's a lot of thought and inner monologue going on which the movie has a harder time capturing. So if you are debating between the two, my recommendation would be to read the book. The story is very saddening, disappointing, and in general a downer. Just a fair warning
