Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan

What a clever and engaging read! The only other McEwan novel that I read was Atonement, which I LOVED, but his last novel (Solar), was not for me.
This novel engaged me from the start - not so much that I loved the characters, but the writing was easy and fast and the storyline interesting.
After I read the book, I did some research and learned that the writer in the book, Tom Haley, has similarities to McEwan as a young writer.
There is a lot  of the "story within the story" in this book and at the end it comes together quite skillfully, I thought.
