In The Blind Assassin, Margaret Atwood presents her readers with a novel-within-a-novel—or, more accurately, a story told within a novel within a novel. This complex interweaving of multiple narratives draws the reader forward through a dramatic and turbulent tale of love, betrayal, and death, while simultaneously using its structural puzzles to reconsider the act of storytelling itself. The effect is mesmerizing.

I tredged through the first 1/4th and finally gave up. I guess the writting was good but I could care less about the people. What a bore, had to quit because life is too short!

This book was a great read.

Wonderful Atwood has class and verve, works magic with words a natural story teller.

I absolutely detested the characters in this book. I don't see how anyone could care for the "oh woe is me, I'm a poor little rich girl and so misunderstood" story.

Unusual story, worth reading.

I couldn't get into the book. It's not my style.

Best seller. I did not read.
