It’s a quick and interesting read, but I can’t say it kept me engaged all too well. Perhaps it’s a book made to be analysed, but some of the prose makes it hard to stay with it. It’s like the book is too smart in a way?
I didn’t see where the story was going, and I really enjoyed the later second and third parts. There’s just something about it that makes it a sort of jarring read, and sad my first Atwood book I’m hoping her voice comes through in future reads.
