Relevant to what's going on now in the world. Margaret Atwood is an amazing writer. So much about this book is shocking but Margaret Atwood has included no practices that havent been used before. (0 more)

Not your usual Atwood story
Compared to other Atwood stories the heart goes last takes a different look on modern relationships while also addressing an odd storyline aha, not your usual dystopian fiction but does still have Atwood traits. I found it funny at times and it does stick out, I do usually recommend this book if anyone asks!

"Margaret Atwood is so clever and brilliant just reading her book and keeping up with it made me feel like a genius. But to engage a reader emotionally over so many different story lines is awe-inspiring."

I'm an avid reader, though my tastes have changed over time. I used to read true crime non fiction, but I have moved into mystery literature. (Though I don't typically read series.) I also love Margaret Atwood and Alice Munro.

My 200th book review is on a classic - The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. Read why this 1985 novel is still very relevant (and frighteningly so) today in my review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2016/10/16/not-a-blueprint/

Great world building and characterisation. Margaret Atwood creates characters that are complex, not purely good nor purely bad but motivated by their experiences and perceieved truths. (0 more)
Intense in all the right ways
Maragaret Atwood is a superb writer, with fleshed out concepts that on the surface are dystopic but are mirrored in current society. This book is intense and emotive, as is its recent television adaption, highly recommended to those that can handle intense and adult themes.

Only Margaret Atwood could take Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and turn it not only into a truly modern piece of art, but also include a rendition of the original play, in the most surprising way. Read my review of this rollicking novel here
