Amsterdam - Ian McEwan

I've been stuck on Salaman Rushdie's Satanic Vesres for several weeks now - the book was harder than I was prepared for, and when the story slowed down I just stopped reading for a while. I've tried forcing myself a few times but didn't really feel it, the reading bug didn't catch, and so I decided to start something else.

Ian McEwan's Amsterdam was a good choice - a fast read, good story, well told and quick action. It's the first of his novels I've read, and from what I've gathered not his best. I didn't love it but it was enjoyable, and if nothing else I'm grateful it moved me out of stuck on reading.
