This was a slow read, which isn't necessarily surprising from Atwood and isn't necessarily a problem. While there were aspects that enjoyed (which were mainly down to just enjoying Atwood's way of writing), I did feel a bit like the book wasn't really going anywhere, and I wasn't satisfied by the conclusion of the relationship between the main character and her "friend / tormentor", which the blurb positions as the main concern of the book. Overall, I liked it, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who isn't already familiar with / a fan of Atwood.
