"Moral Disorder" feels like a minor Atwood's work, even if it still has all of her strong points: great writing, good pace; vivid characters who have amazing inner worlds to which Atwood's writing brings us... However, this story of a woman and her family ends up feeling a little bit like more of the same, as if we are reading once again the same novel. It is fun, it is entertaining, but something is missing.
Really enjoyable, nonetheless. Totally worth reading.
The best: the writing is still amazing; it has a sense of humor; Atwood has a knack to create vivid memories and personalities from her characters, characters that pretty soon feel like family
The worst: it feels like a minor work; it is more of the same Atwood, so if you don't like her writing or ideas...
Further reading: Margaret Atwood has lots of good novels like "Alice Grace" or "The Handmaid's Tale"; Shiwon Miura for a novel in Japanese; Virginia Woolf's "Three Guineas" for non-fiction
7.5/10
