maartje_volder 's review for:

The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood
4.0

First off, I loved the layers of the story. I felt a bit tossed around in the first chapters, but once I got used to it, it was fun. It made the story a bit of a puzzle you really want to solve.

I read this book because I adore the Handmaids Tale. If it was possible to list it as a 6 out of 5 stars book I would have. The writing style is clearly Atwood, but this story was less capturing than the Handmaids Tale for me. Still, was a very good read.
