Starts off rather slow, but very interesting. after a while it turns out the narrator is very unreliable, which in itself is fun, but it all derails real fast into very #weird territory instead of the thriller I was promised...</spoilers>

This is the second novel from Atwood I have read after The Edible Woman and I would say they are quite similar and they really leave you thinking and I read it so fast I was done within a weekend but could have finished in one sitting. This is a book that I want to talk about to everyone I know.
