I can't say I loved this book, despite my adoration of Margaret Atwood. It was so disturbing and such a bleak depiction of a completely believable and not very distant future that it left me apprehensive. It stays with me, though so that months later I can't get it out of my mind. I think it serves the purpose of great writing in that it provokes thought and shakes up the reader's comfortable complacency. I highly recommend it for readers who like a challenge.
