I read The Robber Bride about fifteen years ago, so I don't remember much in the way of detail, but I do remember that it wasn't my favourite of her books. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't one I adored.

(Was it you that mentioned wanting to read Oryx and Crake? I love that one so much.)

[thistlerose]

I'm thinking of abandoning it and reading something else instead. I do have Oryx and Crake in my closet, as well as a Carl Sagan book I haven't read yet. Life's too short to stick with books that don't grab you.

AGREED.

I just abandoned one forty pages in because the characters were all over-the-top caricatures. Now I need to poke the bookshelf and see what's next.

I always enjoy poking through my books and deciding what to read next!

Is that the one about the woman who's sister wrote the novel? And their dad owned the button factory?

[thistlerose]

No, I think the one you're describing is The Blind Assassin, which I loved. This one is (so far) about a professor and her two friends, and there's a fourth woman whom I guess they all hated, who's dead. I'm just not feeling it.

It was okay, but not my favourite.

Cat's Eye is still my favorite.
