Love Is Enduring

Disadvantages: Hard to lose track of events , Hard to study , Strong language

* Enduring Love * Being an English As student , and having to study Enduring Love in detail I thought it would be a good idea to right a review about it because I am so familiar with the book. I also decided to write this review as I have my english exams in a couple of days and one of the exams is based on writing something like a review , and the other paper is about Enduring Love , so I figured that by writing a review on this book would be good practise for both papers.

Review of Enduring Love - Ian McEwan

Enduring Love

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

I first read Enduring Love perhaps about two years ago and I admit I was entirely impressed by the elocution of the author and the bravery at giving the main supporting character Jed a disorder which caused him to fall madly in love with the male lead.

But when you start to be able to see past the beautiful, if heavily scientific language and the pseudo-psychology terminology describing erotomania (rather sweetly referred to as "de Clerambault's Syndrome", it's layman's term), you can see that it is in fact not a very strong ...

Review of Enduring Love - Ian McEwan

Enduring Love

Advantages: none really
Disadvantages: slow, badly handled story, rubbish acting

' Rhys Ifans. He pushes Craig to pray at the dead mans landing place, and a brief tap on the shoulder sparks an infatuation. We then see Cragi trying to get back to his life, but everything reminds him of the incident with the balloon and he cant get rid of the guilt that he let go first, encouraging the rest to do so, and thus sealing the last mans fate. Ifans contacts craig out the blue, asking to meet. On meeting it is awkward and Ifans is pushing for Craig to say something, but wont explain what. Gradually, the 'chance' meetings increase until Craig cannot be polite anymore and tells him to get lost. Meanwhile we watch Craig reacting to being stalked, trying to talk to Morton who is as cold as ice, until Ifans starts knowing too much. He knows about Claire, Joes past etc and eventually confesses he loves Craig and cant ...
