review 1: Margaret Atwood is one of my favorite authors and this final book in the trilogy did not disappoint! I only wish I had read the the first one more recently as all the various characters and story lines come together. If you haven't started, you are in for a treat as the trilogy...

review 1: I just loved this short, wonderful book. While some of the stories are more riveting than others, they all speak of remembrance, getting older. The last two stories will stay with me for a long time. "Stone Mattress" is Margaret Atwood at her best at being sweet and evil. The oth...

review 1: The fourth episode of Atwood's Positron series is perhaps the best so far. Both tense and languid as Charmaine and Stan adjust to the events previously as more and more intrigue is revealed in the depths of Consilence. With a growing sense of paranoia and bewilderment, the separa...

review 1: I have to say that I liked this book so much more than Oryx and Crake. I don't know if it was because I really liked the characters from this book or if I just liked the story better. It also was a plus that I read it right after Oryx and Crake - it helped me understand it bett...

review 1: Pros - quick and fun to read, both dark and funny.Cons - can meander at times.This second episode of Atwood's singles series is every bit as engrossing as the first as she continues to torment poor Stan in a scarily believable dystopian future. We rejoin him as his dreams of ramp...

review 1: I've read Atwood's "Handmaid's Tale," and told myself I'd get around to her other stories. By comparison, Positron isn't really like that book at all. It is weird, but not so weird that I think this is groundbreaking for a dystopian society. Feels like Stepford Wives meets 1984 m...

review 1: The first and third episodes of this serialized story were quite good, but there was a bit of a lull in the second episode. Atwood has introduced an interesting -- though credulity straining -- dystopia. If anything, the peculiar mechanics of the story's world will serve as an ...

review 1: The release of this sequel to The Robber Bride gave me just the excuse I was looking for to read The Robber Bride again (such a good book). As with pretty much everything by Margaret Atwood I've ever read, this does not disappoint - it's a lovely short story reprising the charac...
