Itty Bitty Book Review - "Saturday"

Didn't read much on our recent holiday besides "On Mexican Time" which I've mentioned and McEwan's latest "Saturday". Amazing writing as always with McEwan but I did have a little trouble with him stealing the "art can tame wild beasts" idea from "Bel Canto" by Patchett. I know he worked it up very differently and I still think Saturday is a fine novel...yet. Interesting now to be reading "The Ice Age" by Drabble which was written in 1977 and explores some of the same issues as I remember. I read it long ago and it's rather dim in my memory.
