    I wouldn't call the book depressing - it's a bit of a morality tale really.

    McEwan explores the innate pettiness and shallow nature of the two main characters which contrasts with their exceedingly high opinions of themselves.

    Vernon and Clive think they're great - but underneath their success and their money and their public images lurk two immature, selfish and egocentric men who are their own worst enemies as the conclusion of the book reveals...

    I think Amsterdam is one of McEwan's best novels :)

    I hate to say it but it sounds like a depressing book!!! But you did create a nice lens and I'm sure some people will run out and buy the book.
