Author: Ian McEwan
Ian McEwan knows how to write and Sweet Tooth is simply a joy to read. Serena Frome is the daughter of a an Anglican Bishop, who is recruited by MI5 after graduating from Cambridge in the early 70s. The book has a little of everything ranging from the romantic exploits of a beautiful young girl, spy stories, the challenge of writing novels and explanations of mathematical puzzles. Ian seemed rather enamored by the "three doors" probability puzzle that has stumped many a mathematics professor in the past. He goes into the depths of this puzzle and evaluates several different angles, that I am sure the casual reader is going to miss. Notwithstanding this, the novel is beautifully written and is one hundred percent pure pleasure to read.
