Review Quotes: BOOKER PRIZE WINNER - A PARADE BEST BOOK OF ALL TIME - ONE OF THE ATLANTIC'S 15 BOOKS YOU WON'T REGRET RE-READING
"The first great novel of the new millennium."
--Newsday
"Absorbing... expertly rendered... Virtuosic storytelling [is] on display."
--The New York Times "Brilliant... Opulent... Atwood is a poet.... as well as a contriver of fiction, and scarcely a sentence of her quick, dry yet avid prose fails to do useful work, adding to a picture that becomes enormous."
--John Updike, The New Yorker
"Chilling... Lyrical... [Atwood's] most ambitious work to date."
--The Boston Globe "Hauntingly powerful.... A novel of luminous prose, scalpel-precise insights and fierce characters... Atwood's new work is so assured, so elegant and so incandescently intelligent, she casts her contemporaries in the shade."
--The Atlanta Journal--Constitution "Grand storytelling on a grand scale... Sheerly enjoyable."
--The Washington Post Book World "Bewitching... A killer novel.... Atwood's crisp wit and steely realism are reminiscent of Edith Wharton... A wonderfully complex narrative."
--The Christian Science Monitor "A tour de force."
--Chicago Tribune
