Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan

I finished this book in about 3 sittings (or lyings) because I really enjoyed it. It is the story of a female, attractive Cambridge graduate who joins the secret service. After I said somewhere in this blog that I don't read books about the secret service .... but this is not about the secret service so much as about deceit and writing. It's a very clever book and you realise how clever it is when you've finished it. It's an onion, like Shrek. it has layers. You do become emotionally engaged with it and it takes you out of yourself. It's quite brilliant.
