I really liked The Robber Bride, Cat's Eye, Alias Grace, the Blind Assassin, and Handmaid's Tale.

I have not liked any other book of hers that I've read. The sequel to Handmaid's Tale was terrible. She is uneven at best.

+1. completely agree. She got TDS and fell apart after that. The sequel
was one of the worst books I've ever read.

Yes, loves Cat’s Eye and some of her other earlier novels.

Me too. I'm devastated every time I read it, but I still do.

I've liked most of the Margaret Atwood books I've read--they often take a little bit for me to get into but they're ultimately very rewarding and satisfying reads. I did not enjoy Oryx and Crake at all, but that's the exception.

Forgot about Alias Grace. They did a great adaptation of it on Netflix a few years ago.

The Penelopiad is fun if you like Greek myth adaptations.

I read ‘Cat’s Eye ‘ more than thirty years ago and it still freaks me out.

Did not like Oryx and Crake.

Adrian Tchaikovsky is another prolific sci-fi writer who is out-there OUT-THERE and somehow it works.

yes and her poems are bollocks

I loved Cat's Eye.

I completely agree with your list! I thought the latter two Oryx and Crake books were…fine. I didn’t finish The Heart Goes Last. And I didn't like The Testaments much at all.

Blind Assassin is a wonderful book— very underrated. It’s a testament to her body of work that it flies under the radar, though.

One of the world's most prolific writers. When she's good she's good, but she's written a lot and I haven't loved everything. Here's my assessment of what I've read:

Loved: Handmaid's Tale, The Blind Assassin and Oryx and Crake

I also liked Hagseed, in part because I am a huge Shakespeare fan and a frequenter of the Stratford Festival in Canada.

The books I didn't like: The Heart Goes Last, The Testaments, and the remaining two of the Maddadamm Trilogy (I'm fine with Oryx and Crake as a standalone work).
