I was so excited to read this book because of the movie, but I feel like all the good ideas came from the movie so now I'm just ready for this book to be over.

You guys, I don't know about this. I really don't know. I think the human race is done.

You guys, I really don't know.

There's a century-old debate about the difference between romance and erotica. Luckily, the sex scenes in this book are neither. I'd started this book thinking the protagonist Lisa Nova would be likable.

Lisa has gone to Brazil and there are too many characters. First we had to be introduced to everyone in Los Angeles and now we have to be introduced to everyone in Brazil. Also, the flippant handling of certain topics is offensive to modern sensibility. I mean, I'm still enjoying reading it but there's no good character to cheer for in this story. Except Freak. Even Roy Hardaway was a creep.

This is so wild. I love the constant stream of crazy presented with blase attitude. I'm glad I didn't listen to my 10th grade teacher about not reading books after watching movies about them.

several immediate differences from the miniseries, the two were definitely produced in different times

Hell to the yes.

and it just keeps getting worse

So far it's pretty bad.

Oh shit, it's about to go down!

You know how I love Margaret Atwood. It's pure pleasure to read. I never want to put it down and never want it to end.
