And another one by Ian McEwan that I hated the ending of was "Amsterdam". Previous to this I had always been a big fan, but this one destroyed any respect I had for him. The denouement, when the friends enact their promises to each other, is frankly ridiculous, and asks for a suspension of disbelief above and beyond what all but the most accommodating of readers could manage.
