Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood
3.0
Oh man, what a struggle. This took two months to read. Not to say it was bad, it was one of those books you just had to slog through the first 150 pages to take in all the information and then finally the 'story' begins. When it does, it becomes a roller-coaster that you just don't want to put down.
Though the book is fictional, I really felt for Grace and her situation. It was also interesting to see how medical and religion were so hand in hand at one point that the 'ailment' of someone can be supernatural...
Anyway. No problems with Margaret Atwood - her writing is amazing and you really get a nice, clean picture of everything the characters are going through - may it be through the eyes of Grace or her therapist. The story just wasn't one that grasped my attention. If it was, I'd give it a higher rating.
