Review title: Dystopian, an excellent read but a bit ponderous in the beginning
Product review: Margaret Atwood is a very accomplished author and this novel shows her excellent command of her craft. It makes for a ripping good read, and leaves many thoughts behind to ruminate. She is in the lead of what is likely to be a long line of future authors to predict that the world will end not with a bang, but with biological tinkering and the unleashing of some man-made plague.I found the first chapters a bit ponderous, but it is worth sticking with them because the pace picks up considerably after about the first quarter of the book, and many of the oblique references become clear.I don't read much fiction, but in this case I'm really pleased I did -- this is a novel I can recommend.
