Another wonderful book from Ms. Atwood! I have loved almost everything I've read by her (with the exception of Alias Grace), and this one definitely did not disappoint.

Just received in the mail today...thanks Aramena!
This I found good, but not compelling. Just interesting enough to finish.

I am really not sure how I feel about this book. Do I love it? Do I hate it? There were times when I wanted to give up on it, and yet I couldn't. Somehow I kept finding myself still reading it. Maybe it was the fact that just like her main character, Rennie, I am trying to learn to live again.
As far as the plot goes. It was fairly simply and almost uneventful for the first half of the book. In the second part, the story makes a sudden turn and all hell breaks loose. I was, however, a little disappointed that there seemed to be a whole line of characters who appear out of nowhere and are simply dropped from the story leaving me to wonder what had happened to them.

I love a good Atwood book! I may not get to it very soon since I am about to give birth and in the middle of a really long book. Hopefully I'll be able to get a little reading done on maternity leave :)
Thanks so much for sending this to me!
