Solar

Author: Ian McEwan
Stars: 5
Review by: newretiree

Wonderfully written and very funny at times. The main character is not a nice man, very selfish and infantile, and that's actually half the fun.  Especially hearing him rationalize his poor behavior.  There are some paragraphs devoted to physics -- he eventually gets involved in solar power research -- but don't let that put you off.  You can skim it without missing a thing.
