I've heard such mixed things about it and have been kind of scared, but you've definitely given me a little boast to get to it.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212465766317764317.post-64526992711235895112009-07-31T04:16:23.278-04:002009-07-31T04:16:23.278-04:00I love Margaret Atwood and I loved this book!

I wasn't disappointed by the ending as I have read enough Atwood books to know she often doesn't end her novels grr!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212465766317764317.post-4062410707380219472009-07-30T12:53:38.964-04:002009-07-30T12:53:38.964-04:00I have been planning to reread this in preparation...I have been planning to reread this in preparation for her new book, but we will see how it works out.

But after thinking about it some I decided that what happened next really didn't matter. It's what had already happened that was the point.Nikki in Niagarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13348586723780500367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212465766317764317.post-90621296781702178012009-07-30T09:19:58.467-04:002009-07-30T09:19:58.467-04:00I gave this one a 3.5/5 (good) rating.

I don't know if I'm going to be able to get to it before publication. I'm trying.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.com
