Just reading the Guardian online and came across a response from the author on a review of his latest novel On Chesil Beach.
I wonder what irritated him so much.
Yes, I agree Dorothy. Each reviewer has their own reaction and perception, and another might see something totally different. Each view is valid. For a writer it is part of life, so I was a little amused to see the author get so aggrieved.
Maybe Ian McEwan was still feeling a bit peeved after being told off for taking some pebbles off Chesil beach to put on his fireplace. He faces a fine.http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-161513914.html
What did your papers say Kangeroo, was it about the beach or the book.

I understand from the article that the pebbles were returned via someone else.
