Yes, and the book is bad. Ouranid Send a noteboard - 14/12/2009 06:18:02 PM
And no, I'm not saying it out of outrage. I read the book before I became aware of the ccontroversy, and couldn't really care. But the book is bad, and considering she has so many brilliant books, it baffles me that this is the one consistently mentioned.

The Blind Assassin or The Handmaid's Tale are better choices when it comes to her spec fi.
