Journal Entry 1 by veruca from Austin, Texas USA on Saturday, April 19, 2003
A few years ago (before BookCrossing existed), I was on my way to a bar downtown and I walked through the nearby Republic Square Park to throw away some trash. On the park bench, I saw a tattered copy of "Robber Bride". My first instinct was to grab it and after a few minutes of rationalizing that the person who left it there did it on purpose, I did take it. When I got home, I started reading it and devoured it in just a few days.

This isn't *that* copy (I released it long ago), but I bought another copy to release.

Even if you're not looking for a "thinking" book, this is a good novel to just breeze through. The characters are vivid and you'll probably see a little of yourself in every one of them. One of the characters is rather loathsome, so maybe you won't see even a little of yourself in her. Or will you?

Atwood's writing technique is interesting - the shifting points of view - allows the reader to the varying histories and emotions that shape the personalities of Tony, Charis and Roz. The plot reminded me of a soap opera.
