The Robber Bride Audiobook

" I just couldn't get into this one. I had zero interest in or sympathy for the three main characters even after 100 pages. Maybe another time. "

" I quite liked the narrative style but found it a bit heavy going at times and the climax was something of an anti one "

" if margaret atwood and zadie smith never met up for coffee, they probably missed out. "

" A very quick moving pleasurable story from the incomparable Atwood. "

" It was good, but the ending left me with a ton of unanswered questions. The last 1/4 of the book just felt really rushed. "

" This is the author that most inspires my writing. I started reading her novels when I was 16. "

" I really liked the writing the style but it dragged on- I personally thought that the use of 3 women and their stories was unnecessary and 2 would have sufficed. "

" I think Tony is the "voice" of the author. The clear, analytical, cold-blooded mind. The book starts and ends with her. Though, might she have been the one to throw Zenia off the balcony? I wonder... "

" I may be getting into a rut only reading one author. But so far, she delivers the stories I like to read. This is something I would have originally called a girl book. But I liked it. Fun to see how it ends. "

" Loved this read outrageous charachter at the centre, page turner "

" Atwood writes amazingly realistic, distinct and believable characters. I want other people to read this book so we can discuss it, especially the last 30 or so pages. "

" It started off strong but ended with a whimper. The prose was strong, the characters were interesting, but in the end it just seemed a little too predictable a tad too structured. By the end, it almost felt as if Atwood was bored with her own novel. "

" I really wanted to like this book. But I just couldn't. I haven't read it in years but I remember it clearly. It really unsettled me. The narrators are unreliable and unpleasant. But since it obviously stuck with me, then it did it's job. "

" The Handmaid's Tale, it is not, but you can always trust Atwood to provide a beautiful work of literature. This was quite dark and depressing and I unfortunately read it at a time when I was suffering a major health crisis and could have used a more cheerful experience. However, it's well done. "

" Atwood shows her wicked sense of humour and eye for nuanced detail. If only all chick-lit were this good. "

" This was a re-read of a favorite book from long ago. It's not my favorite Atwood but I still enjoyed it. "

" I went into this book with high expectations but unfortunately it seemed way too tedious. I might try reading it again at some point though. "

" This is the kind of book from Atwood that I wanted to read. Of course oryx & crake is great but Atwood's women can beat dystopian world anytime. "

" Not as good as some of the other Atwood books I've read, but still very enjoyable. "

" This one was a challenging read but I mean that in a good way. It took me a long time to finish it but I enjoyed every second. Will never read it again because it is horrifying in its deadpan, calm descriptions of a really terrible "friend". Margaret Atwood is brilliant. "

" Read this when I was in high school and I think it helped me understand a lot of things that are hard to articulate about women and female relationships. "

" Not my favorite of hers, but worth a look "

" I'm actually choosing not to read the final 30 pages. She feels very dated and very same-y.Also, why is Atwood so insistent that EVERY novel contains a story of child sexual abuse? "

" In my top 10 of all time! "

" This book like most of Atwood's novels was dark but wonderful. She is so good at communicating the darker side of the human race that it is sometimes overwhelming. It's definitely one of those books that you just can't put down. I don't think I'll ever get tired of her prose or her novels. "

" YUCK. Reflects a misogynist (yeah, I know, the author is supposed to be a feminist) terror of the sort of femme-fatale that really only exists in Bond movies. I think people think Margaret Atwood is deep because she has a creepy imagination. "

" Margaret Atwood kind of freaks me out. "

" Ah! Got this at the library to day only to get two pages in and realize that I have already read it! At least my taste is consistent I guess....this also provides further evidence for why I need this website.... "

" Hated it most of the way through but then I loved it.. probably because it evoked so much emotion from me. "

" Really enjoyable read! If I were a novelist, I would love to write novels just like Margaret Atwoods - she writes so intelligently yet keeps the thriller edge... Loved it - a page-turner. "

" I read this a long time ago and didn't like it. I think I abandoned it rather quickly but I can't remember why. One of these days I will give it another try since I can only imagine that I was too young to understand or appreciate it then. "

" This is fantastic - sharp and biting. "
