anyone here read her stuff?

i've read 'alias grace', 'the robber bride', 'cat's eye' and 'oryx and crake'... pretty good stuff, although 'oryx and crake' weirded me out a bit. i'll definitely read more of her stuff.

I did Alias Grace as one of my supplementary texts for Crime Fiction. It was a good book but too long for a supp. text. :S

I read The Blind Assassin last year and I thought it was quite good.
I'm about 200 pages into Alias Grace and it seems interesting so far.

I like Atwood's writing style, and how it's not boring chapter after chapter - TBA had the different storylines, AG has letters and poems and things.

Ive read bits and pieces of her stuff, the only book i've actually read completely is the handmaids tale (of my own volition, not because of ee1 lol) Shes cool. Almost bought oryx and crake today at the book shop... but didnt.

I've read A Handmaid's tale and Oryx and Crake. She has a unique style that I enjoy.
I liked oryx and crake the best and have just started alias grace.

The Blind Assassin is the only book that I haven't been able to finish in years. I don't know why, I liked her other stuff...there just didn't seem to be that much of interest in there. And I couldn't bring myself to pick it up and finish it.
