Bodily Harm by Margaret Atwood

4.0

I picked this book up because Margaret Atwood is one of my favorite authors. I purchased it at a second hand book store.

This isn’t a very long book and the plot flew by making it feel even shorter. That isn’t a knock against it. While I appreciate a good book I can take my time with there is something to be said about losing a day because you can’t put a book down.

I was impressed with the descriptions of St. Antoine. I think it is one of the things Atwood does best in her writing so it is no surprise she brings St. Antoine to life in these pages. The characters, while I don’t like most of them, all felt like real people. Speaking of characters, I’m sorry to say but I found Rennie, the main character, very unlikable. Luckily, I don’t have to like a character to like reading about them.
