Hmmm...

I started reading this a week ago, and I haven't made it very far at all.
Unfortunately the style it's written in is just not working for me.

In another discussion thread online somewhere it was noted that
Atwood has said that the form of The Blind Assassin was influenced by early twentieth-century collages, in which newspaper excerpts were glued onto canvas and then painted around and over--thus framing two ways of representing reality, each of which contradicted the other but also complemented it.
While this may have literary purpose; for me - it's just preventing me from connecting with the characters, and I'm not a fan of the weirdly sporadic jumps in the timeline...

I'm not sure whether or not I'll try to finish this one...
I have too many other books clambering for my attention.
