I can definitely see the connection between enjoying 19th century literature and enjoying McEwan's prose. He has a pretty descriptive, vivid style, which is pretty different from the sparse style of McCarthy. While, in general, McEwan writes in a style to which I'm more drawn, I've read one book by each (Atonement v. The Road) and I far preferred the latter. Atonement is one of my least favourite books I've ever read; I disliked it in the way that leaves you angry for days following!
