It’s a novel (a bestseller) about childhood, love, and the war horrors by a British writer called Ian Mc Ewan.

The main character is Briony Tallis an english girl who wants to be a writer and the author tell us how works the writer mind and how wonderful it can be indeed sometimes, it could be magical but at the same time how difficult it can be, all of these is explained very brilliantly by the author through Bryony’s mind.

I really enjoyed the book it’s a really interesting book a very romantic one and it’s a kind of sad too it’s about love, mistakes guiltiness, forgiveness.

It isn’t an easy book because it has a lot of descriptions that a lot of people don’t like but the beauty of this book lies there. The author gone deep in the psychology of the characters and you can see the different points of view about things because the writer explains things from the point of view of every character on the book, so you can quite understand and love the characters because you almost know them.

There is a film based on this book directed by Joe Wright. The film stars James McAvoy, Keira Knightley, and Saoirse Ronan. If you watch the film without have reading the book maybe you are going to think that it’s a bad movie because there is a lot of things that it’s almost impossible to put it properly i n a movie but if you have read the book you could understand things that otherwise you could find silly or out of context in the movie.

I really enjoyed it; it’s a very interesting book a very romantic one ; and it’s kind of sad too. It’s about love, mistakes, guiltiness, forgiveness.

It isn’t an easy read because it has a lot of descriptions that many people don’t like but its beauty lies there. The author has gone deep in the psychology of the characters and you can see the different points of view : the writer explains them from the standpoint of every character, so you can quite understand and love each and everyone of them as you feel you almost know them.

There is a film based on this book directed by Joe Wright. The film stars James McAvoy, Keira Knightley, and Saoirse Ronan. If you watch the film without having read the book maybe you will think that it’s a bad movie because there are a lot of things that are almost impossible to put in properly but if you have read the book you understand things that otherwise you could find silly or out of context in the movie. =** Lots of repetition. Please read your original text carefully and notice the number of times you write //and, but, because, book//... You also tend to repeat words in the same sentence (//a lot of, characters, point of view//...). The vocabulary is OK for an intermediate student, but have you done the exercises in your student´s book and workbook? I know you __//can//__ do better. Remember this before you write your second book review. **=
