Negative Positive
Title: Mediocre at best
Review: As Sci Fi books go this is a poorly written one. Doris Lessing once remarked that if you want to write literature in this day and age it has to be in the form of science fiction. Viewed in this light this is mrs Atwoods first attempt at writing literature and she shows here she does not (yet) have the writing ability. This book barely rises above the level of a feminist pamphlet, if that.For a properly written book on this theme see Suzette Haden Elgin's 'Native Tongue' (and sequels).
Is the review positive or negative?
