      I love the way Margaret Atwood writes. Even more, I love it when authors are able to incorporate scientific themes - in this case, genetic engineering - without making it sound too dry or forced. So this book was basically a huge win. Her flashbacks are intriguing, her descriptions graphic. Despite how *real* and disturbing the subject is, the book itself is hilarious at times and overall a very enjoyable read.
