I've read it two or three times too, and it just never quite 'stuck' with me. Now her "The Penelopiad", on the other hand, is nothing short of sheer brilliance. I do think Atwood an important writer though, she's got vision! Excellent review! Cheers!

In general, I'm a huge fan of Canadian author Margaret Atwood's writing and her active engagement with young writers and with issues. But THT is my least favorite.<br />Looking forward to your next review!<br />LLauriehttp://www.whatsheread.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
