Title: THE BLIND ASSASSIN - CATCHY TITLE FOR A CRUMBLE BOOK
Review: I am retired, have an Ivy League PhD in English Literature and still read 2 or 3 novels a day. You would think that after so much practice writing, Margaret Atwood would finally come through with a genuine sizzler. A sizzler 'The Blind Assassin' is not. It is more like a small, once white hot coal doused with with a gallon of water during a driving tropical rain storm. The stuff for potential is there in the novel but it just doesn't cut the mustard. Atwood likes to put in the literary descriptive details a la Edgar Allen Poe, she has adopted some kind of twisted emulation of William Faulkner's style it seems to me - the end result is a disturbed mish mash of Margaret Atwood's mental masturbation. Grow up or give up Margaret. If you want to read a five star version of "The Blind Assassin", read Steven King's "Insomnia" - it is the best 1900's love story I've probably read in the last 10 years and yes, a genuine white hot sizzler.
