The Blind Assassin

Margaret Atwood

Andrew thought this terrible and tedious and had given up disappointed. Doreen agreed and thought it was old hat. Certainly not Booker Prize material.

Bob found this book annoying on many levels, not least of which was that as he dropped it in the bath before he finished it he had to buy another copy. At over 600 pages this was a long and turgid read. Bob usually likes Atwood and had looked forward to reading this but found it slow and predictable. Other members of the group who had read this book were similarly unimpressed. Bob 19/1/03
