"We’ve learned that Atwood’s novel should be read…as a warning about patriarchy and its control of reproduction as the underpinning of everything undemocratic."

The format of having a book inside another book was great. (0 more)
A book destroyed a woman's life
A publisher tells how her writer's final novel destroys her life as she knows it. Magpie Murders is in two parts, the novel and the publisher's story. I read a lot of mystery novels and I can say I did not see this one coming.

A Great 'Escape'
Meltzer opens the novel with an interesting twist, and the turns and twists keep coming. He is able to write an intriguing thriller and keep us interested in the characters as well. This novel sold so many copies that in its third week after the release, Amazon ran out of copies.

This was exactly like the novel. I am so happy with this graphic novel! The artwork is amazing. The scenes that made me cry in the book were so excellent. I loved the relationships between the characters. Seeing them all together again made my heart hurt, but it was a good kind of hurt. So much love for these books!
