Solar is full of accidents on the level of plot that are crafty strokes of intention on the level of plotting.

Beard’s farcical character and serial pratfalls glibly shrug off this engagement, thereby denuding Solar of the credible or meaningful relationships that would add colour and depth to its essentially two-dimensional plot.
Our Thoughts
McEwan’s presentation of climate change issues are refreshingly ambiguous; Beard is alternately disgusted, distracted or frantically excited. Nonetheless, it left me rather cold.
