I liked it, although I wasn't as impressed by it as I'd expected to be. It was my first by McEwan and I liked his elegant writing style. Some of the story fell a little flat for me but overall I thought it worth reading and it's brief, almost a novella. I also just listened to his book Nutshell and finished a few days ago before starting our Giordano selection. Now that book, despite similar elegant writing, I have a few issues with, lol.
I have a feeling I'd like his book Atonement more than either of those, judging mainly by how good the film was.
