WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Apologies for not being able to give release notes (or a book, for that matter) in German. Left this in the S-bahn station on a bench.
I liked this Atwood novel more than I've liked the others I've read. I've generally found that she's better at non-fiction than fiction, or at the non-fiction aspects of her fiction (such as in Handmaid's Tale). In this case, I found her characters more interesting and more 3-dimensional than I have in her other work. (This is a personal opinion--I haven't generally found her characters 3-dimensional, but certainly couldn't say what I think is missing, and wouldn't disagree with anyone who did.) Here, she seems to be able to think her way through characters in a way that made them more human to me. Lesje in particular resonated.
Anyway, hope someone finds this and enjoys it.
