Saturday is a tightly wound tour de force." - The Washington Post Book World "This extraordinary book is not a political novel. It is a novel about consciousness that illuminates the sources of politics." - The Nation " Saturday is an exemplary novel, engrossing and sustained. It is undoubtedly McEwan''s best." - The Spectator "Read the last 100 pages at one sitting-the pace and the thrill allow it. . . . Exhilarating." - Los Angeles Times Book Review "Virtuosic. . . .

Exquisitely detailed, rich and suspenseful, literate and surprisingly explosive." The Miami Herald &, "Saturday revives W.H. Auden's definition of great art as 'clear thinking about mixed feelings.'" The Globe and Mail "[McEwan's] writing has been almost critically unimpeachable. . . . Of all the writers currently at work, McEwan stands with very few others as one who can . . . inspire . . . complexly formed feelings of deep admiration." Books in Canada "McEwan brilliantly conveys the process whereby a man's competitive instincts go overboard and he becomes desperate to win a squash game or and argument." Toronto Star "Skilfully blends the joys of food, music and sport with the uncertainty of an age undergoing disturbing transition." Canadian Press "This is a gripping portrait of a man who suspects he's heading downhill. And there are transcendent moments, like the brief, utterly heartbreaking sequence describing the encounter with his mother, as devastating as it is subtle. Fascinating." Now (Toronto) "Saturday is thoughtful, finely written, rich in detail and analysis, a portrait of a living mind. The Gazette (Montreal) "[McEwan] is a towering figure in the world of letters. . . . One of the smartest authors at work today. " Edmonton Journal "This season's most discussed novel. . . . McEwan again and again proves his virtuosity. . . . In McEwan's hands . . . wars and politicians and terrorists mingle with private satisfactions . . . McEwan appropriates the subject of personal joy, brings it back into serious literature, and makes it, for the moment at least, his private literary property." National Post "Mr. McEwan has not only produced one of the most powerful pieces of post-9/11 fiction yet published, but has also fulfilled that very primal mission of the novel: to show how wea privileged few of us, anyway live today." The New York Times "In Saturday he remains at the top of his game - assured, accomplished and ambitious... [Saturday] offers something transcendent, impossible to dissect." -Lewis Jones, Telegraph "operating at the height of his formidable powers...Artistically, morally and politically, he excels" -Ruth Scurr, Times "Where the literary careers of some of his contemporaries now look like gaudy wreckage, he has triumphantly developed into a writer of outstanding subtlety and substance. ..Written with superb exactness, complex, suspenseful, reflective and humane, this novel about an expert on the human brain by an expert on the human mind reinforces his status as the supreme novelist of his generation." -Peter Kemp, Sunday Times "It's the good writing and the truthful and convincing way of rendering consciousness that makes Ian McEwan's Saturday so engrossing, keeping me awake like a mystery thriller." -Colm Toibin chose Saturday as one his books in A Little Night Reading, in The Sunday Times "Refreshing and engrossing, Saturday has a pleasing intimacy... McEwan's superb novel amply demonstrates how good fiction, by dramatising unweildy and fraught ideas in a deeply personal narrative, can fashion the world into gobbets sometimes more digestible than factual reportage" -James Urquhart, Independent "His gift of observation, wonderfully precise, now comes thick and fast.

But after a minor traffic accident leads to an unsettling confrontation, Perowne must set aside his plans and summon a strength greater than he knew he had in order to preserve the life that is dear to him., In his triumphant new novel, Ian McEwan, the bestselling author of Atonement, follows an ordinary man through a Saturday whose high promise gradually turns nightmarish. Henry Perowne-a neurosurgeon, urbane, privileged, deeply in love with his wife and grown-up children-plans to play a game of squash, visit his elderly mother, and cook dinner for his family. But after a minor traffic accident leads to an unsettling confrontation, Perowne must set aside his plans and summon a strength greater than he knew he had in order to preserve the life that is dear to him., From the pen of a master--the #1 bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author of "Atonement"--comes a "cerebral novel about an ominous day seen through the eyes of Henry Perowne, a reflective neurosurgeon whose comfortable life is shaken following a run-in with a street thug" ("Publishers Weekly").
