3.0 out of 5 stars I didn't read past the first chapter, Jan 11 2012

This review is from: BODILY HARM (Mass Market Paperback)

I have enjoyed many of Margaret Atwood's books. This wasn't one of them. I am not sure whether to blame it on the book or the timing.

This review is from: Bodily Harm (Paperback)

I've read most of Margaret Atwood's books. This, by far, is one of my favorites. This author has a way of pulling you into the stories and feeling the feelings of the characters. There is also a lot meaning behind her words.

This was truly a fast read. I really liked the character, Rennie, although at one point in the book I was ready to clobber Paul for her.

If you like Margaret Atwood, don't miss reading this one!

1.0 out of 5 stars Hated It, Oct 19 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Bodily Harm (Unbound)

I chose to read this book for a book report project in English because I had heard such great things about it, and the author Margaret Atwood. The beginning of the book was okay, and I reallie liked the main character Rennie. But as I continued to read I found that the story was dragging, and wasn't seeming to get any better along the way. I kept expecting something interesting to happen, or for the story to take a twist for the better but it never did. I didn't even want to finish the book, but I had to for my English class. This was the first book my Margaret Atwood I had ever read, and it almost turned me off her all together. (and believe me, I love to read, and had never been this turned off by a book before) Luckily I decided to try reading the Handmaid's Tale, and really enjoyed it, but I would never recommend this book to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Happiness and cheer abound
Sure it does. It is very much not a good idea for a reader to attempt to psychoanalyze an author through their own works, because not only will you probably come to the wrong... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Rennie as the 'every woman'
Although I have not read many Atwood novels, when I pick up one of her books I expect to be provoked intellectually and emotionally. Read more
