Amsterdam by Ian McEwan Literature
(Published by Vintage)
4 Stars

This is the first book McEwan won the Booker prize for (Atonement being the second) and it’s a short but gripping tale. It concerns an ambitious journalist and his composer best friend. They are as opposite as they are similar but when a row over a potentially explosive story escalates past the point of reconciliation both come up with the same, unpredictable solution. This fast- paced morality tale is funny, sharp and very clever.
