          <body><![CDATA[This book is more obscure and abstract than most of Atwood's other novels. It is interesting in the sense that it provokes deep thought but personally I found it a bit too cryptic. There was also something a bit incongruent about the central character. Atwood tells us she's in her twenties but every...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/81945300">more...</a>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[This is a great story about about a group of characters from opposite sides of the war who are thrown together by circumstance, and help each other to survive the final months. I really enjoyed it but I wouldn't characterise it as a love story and I'm surprised that it was portrayed that way by the ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72022431">more...</a>]]></body>

I have about 100 pages to go...but I can tell you it's so good that I already have the 2nd and 3rd books in trilogy on my wish list. It's completely captivating - one of those books that makes you wish you could read faster. It's full of action and plot twists.
