How to make a laughing stock of literary awards? What possessed the Booker committee to award this unoriginal, lightweight collection of unthoughtful rambling their top honour??Mr McEwan may well have a better body of work to his credit, but I bought this book since "Winner of the Booker prize" usually affords me unabridged reading pleasure.Instead I feel cheated - you get a predictable and downright dull regurgitation of the old Tory-baiting, kneejerk-reactionary 1980's backlash. Set in the mind of a conceited composer and populist broadsheet editor we are not even afforded the luxury of character depth to paint over the lack of a biting storyline. And the prose is tired, jaded and doesn't know where to jump and bore the reader next.Oh yeah - the ending is so predictable. Perhaps I'll have to be more selective in judging Booker prize winners in the future, but I'll allow anyone one such glaring error.
