They lost almost everything when the economy went belly up and now they lived in their car. Stan was getting tired of the situation while Charmaine tried to remain positive although her new working conditions at the Pixel Dust bar, were less than ideal. When Charmaine saw the commercial for the Posi...
Got almost halfway through and quit, stopped just at chapter 7. This is my first Margaret Atwood book and I did enjoy her writing, just not the story. I grew bored and ended up skimming in the end, even when I came across Jocelyns' plan. I just didn't care. Admittedly, it is a bit my fault. The w...
This book is over the top and funny while commenting on the risks of our commercialism and the economic risks we are at. It’s over the top with some things, and if you start this looking for something like The Handmaid’s Tale you are going to be disappointed. I enjoyed the humor and the characters i...
I read this over Christmas, so only about a month ago, but it turns out I'd already forgotten half the plot. After briefly refreshing my memory, here's what I've got. It's the near future and most major industries have collapsed due to an unspecified economic breakdown. Stan and Charmaine are livi...
Things have gone absolutely to hell. Banks are collapsing, there's little food security, homes are being foreclosed on and unemployment has skyrocketed.

Around the Year Reading Challenge Item #48: A DystopiaDon't be discouraged by the fact that this book took me five months to read -- I was reading it on my Kindle, which is pretty much the "slow lane" to my book traffic. (I usually only read it in waiting rooms.) The writing style is accessible and ...
DNF @ 23%. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Can't find anything to keep me reading this exercise in the bizarre. This must be a joke, surely! I just don't get it. Any of it.
WHAT?????I seriously said that or thought that at least several hundred times while reading this book. I don't know what Ms. Atwood's main message was supposed to be (false love is bad, thinking money solves everything is bad, politics is bad, etc.) but it got lost in this meandering book. If you wi...
As I read The Heart Goes Last, by Margaret Atwood, I had a hard time believing what I was reading. My prior experiences with Atwood’s novels did not prepare me for what I found between the covers of this disturbing novel—and not in a good way. All of the other books by Atwood that I’ve read—The Hand...
