shansandler 's review for:
The Heart Goes Last
by Margaret Atwood
Atwood truly kept me on my toes with this one; I was eager to find out the full story while gasping and cringing along the way. This might be my favorite Atwood yet.
In a "Rocky Horror Picture Show" Brad & Janet-esque turn of events, these despicable characters are compelling and enduring a truly unhinged plot.
Straight actors playing gay actors playing Elvis? The Elvisorium?! HELL YES!! An inclusion of Elvis references is obviously the way to my heart.
The main con for me here was the ending - it felt as if it snuck up so fast and I truly wanted more. It's that RHPS type of ending. We meet so many characters and learn of so many plot threads that will not be neatly bowed up of course, but what Atwood did put together here all managed to wow me.
