Characters were wishy washy and unlikeable. The dialogue sounds like it was written by somebody completely out of touch. Reminded me of romance stories my high school friends would write in the 10th grade.  All the rabid horniness seemed odd and out of place.  As an Atwood fan, I was surprised by how  disappointing this train wreck of a book was.
