Ehhh. Based on the book description the story could have been so interesting but it just wasn't executed well. Things just happened without a lot of meat holding it together. I don't feel like many of the plots were well thought out or really tracked as to why things were happening. And at the end the story just dropped off.

I tried to read another of Atwood's books a couple weeks ago (Oryx and Crake) but had to stop due to both content and writing style. I loved The Handmaid's Tale when I read it last year though. I think I will probably avoid her modern fiction from now on.
