Everything I want to say about this book sounds a little negative, but I don't really feel like it is... (which is to say that I'm engaging in willful cognitive dissonance because this book is by Margaret Atwood, let's be honest). The plot is intriguing, but was pretty predictable in the second half. Everything about the ending seemed to happen too easily, which I actually appreciate, but was still the tiniest bit unsatisfying. I was continually disgusted by Stan and Charmaine, and felt really weird about how the female characters were treated. If Margaret Atwood's name wasn't on the book, I probably wouldn't have finished it. It was certainly interesting, though, and I still have all her other books on my "can't believe I haven't read" list.
