I didn’t like this story. It definitely felt like it was two separate books, I could have enjoyed the story if Atwood had chosen to focus maybe on just the political aspect (along with the danger aspect). But it felt disjointed to me focusing so much on (protagonist) Rennie’s health issues, especially when they didn’t have much bearing on the latter parts of the book. I also found Rennie to be so annoying and cowardly. I’d say the last 20% of the book made it worth it to finish, but won’t be a recommendation from me.
