The book in a book intrigue is always hit or miss with me. It has to be really well constructed and have intentionality for the plot and more importantly the characters.
So far, I’m very much interested in where this book is going, especially since it has dutifully subverted my expectations, but I also find it a bit boring at the moment.

I appreciate that the “gimmick” of this book is rooted in the world of the story and tied intimately with the characters.
I’m always annoyed when a cast of characters are rendered on the foundation of the author’s message, and while this novel isn’t completely exempt from that sin… Atwood at least does a good job of it.
But I find myself bored with this story. Me thinks I’m not the target audience.
