Jean-Paul’s rating: 3/5 stars

I have been horrible at writing book reviews. It has been so long that I’ve read these books that I can’t even begin to do a review justice. They are here mostly to remind myself that I read them.

I was pretty disappointed with this one. I think mostly because I didn’t find it at all shocking in the way that most people did. All you have to do is look around the globe and right in our own backyard to see the horrors that Atwood writes about. I guess I read too much about oppression and how it works? What I did find really cool about the book was Atwood’s afterword where she talks about the actual history from which she drew the material to write the book. That was fascinating.
