It takes a talented author to hook you to a book where you don't like the characters. I'm definitely going to be reading this one soon. .-= S. Krishna´s last blog ..Bed of Roses – Nora Roberts =-.

I've never read The Handmaid's Tale, or rather I started it when I was much too young to read something like that. Atwood does seem a wee bit imposing but I think I can squeeze her in eventually. Great review Meghan. .-= jennygirl´s last blog ..Sunday Reflections (Nov. 8) =-.

I've only read two of Atwood's book so far, but I really want to read more. I enjoyed both The Handmaid's Tale and Cat's Eye even though they are very different. This one has been back on my radar recently because from what I hear, her latest is a sequel to this one. Good to hear you liked it. .-= SuziQoregon´s last blog ..The Ruins by Scott Smith =-.

I really need to read this one, and then Year of the Flood. I have loved what I little I read of Atwood and I can't wait to read those two. Great review! .-= Kay´s last blog ..Comic : The Man’s Birthday =-.

I liked Oryx and Crake, although when I read it, we had rain every day in the afternoon only for a week. Creepy! Like Julie Q and Nicole, I would suggest reading Alias Grace. It is based on a true story and offers one possibility of what events actually transpired.

I have only read one Atwood book, and it was The Handmaid's Tale. I do have this one on my shelf, and after reading your review I realize I need to move it up on the list. I didn't really know much about it, other than it was dystopian fiction. Great review, I will be trying to read this soon! .-= zibilee´s last blog ..Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro - 304 pgs =-.

I haven't read any of Atwood's books, but my son tells me that I need to read this one. Great review. .-= Kathy´s last blog ..Reminder: That’s How I Blog! =-.

The Handmaid's Tale is my favorite Atwood book, but I would say it is followed by Oryx and Crake (although The Blind Assassin is a close third). .-= Stephanie´s last blog ..Teaser Tuesday: The Woman in White =-.

My Margaret Atwood books are piling up. I have this one as well as ALIAS GRACE and I have read THE HANDMAID'S TALE. I don't know why it takes me so long to get back to her books. They are so good. Glad you liked this one. .-= Nicole´s last blog ..The Year That Was: October 2009 =-.
