Poetic Incrimination

I've been trying to finish this book i bought from the UK, Atonement, so i can get started on the one boonie lent me. And lemme just say this, this book is cheeeem like nobody's business. It's really, really, energy-sapping just reading and absorbing all those words and its not that the words are hard. Cause we all know big words just make you look like you know what you're doing. No, it's the way he strings them together, he being Ian McSomething, and his choice of words. Choice being the keyword. Like you're reading happily, then BAM he puts this word, one you would have never thought of, rightwhereyouleastexpectit. It's incredible. It's all about placement and timing. Anyway this book is also a motion picture, so wait for it to hit the cinemas, but don't expect it to be as fulfiling as the book. And the book IS fulfiling, even with its incomprehensibility. Am i freaking you out? Well yeah, whatever, read it if you have the time. Atonement by Ian McSomething. (No it's not really McSOMETHING, i just can't remember it right now. I will, however, check back when i notice to, with his real last name.)

yes i'm sidestepping the real issue here.
