Query: Normally an Atwood Fan...

I wanted to like this book, really, I tried to like it and failed miserably. The three story lines were disjointed and kept the book from developing a flow. Each time I almost got interested in reading one of the plot lines she was off on another tangent, another story, another time, another place. The ending is anticlimactic - if not entirely predictable. While I usually love Atwoods writing, this time I found the characters very one dimensional and unsympathetic. I struggled to finish the book and was annoyed at the end that I had spent that much time reading it. If I had it to do over I would choose another Atwood book - any other Atwood book. While it may have won the Booker Prize, it doesn't win my reccommendation. And that is a shock.
