Wow, i didn't notice that it took me a while to read it. Well, blame it on some stressful deadlines and on the fact that it's made of 600 pages, I guess because I loved it. I wouldn't say I didn't have expectations, but my expectations were few and kind of low, since Atwood has become so famous in the past few years (yes, I'm a snob or a hipster). I don't have the time or the spirit to write a long and cool review, so I'm just gonna say:

• good plot;
• great writing!

Won't read The Handmaid Tales. Maybe.

Meh. I couldn't say it's badly written, but I just never found myself very interested or engaged. At times, it feels as though it's building up to something, the thing that's going to make everything fall into place and change your way of thinking. But no, that same sense of emptiness and indifference in the first couple of hundred pages carries on right to the end. It's not like it's terrible, but I imagine I'll have forgotten everything about it in a couple of weeks.
