I really liked the writing, but the story seemed strangely paced, too long with an almost rushed conclusion.

It is one of those books which leaves me supremely frustrated, in particular the melodramatic decline of Dr Jordan followed by his complete disappearance from the story, and the strange hypnotism/seance scene. Oh, and that rushed conclusion.

I felt that even Ms Atwood got bored with her tale.
