I kept waiting for it to get interesting or even make sense, but neither of those was to happen. I suppose that had I gone digging into the whole thing, I may have been able to restore some sense out of it, but from what I heard, it was definitely not worth the effort. I know that Margaret Atwood has it in her (I love The Handmaid's Tale which I purchased when it first came out in paperback [what memories of my old college days]), but she certainly does not demonstrate it in this book. Sigh.
