Summary: So insightful it cuts to the bone
Review: Atwood is truly the greatest. Her female characters are always so multi-faceted and powerful, they seem to bounce off the page.Cat's Eye shows with disturbing accuracy the power roles that exist in the friendships of little girls, and how these relationships often continue to affect women well into their lives. If you liked this book, read The Robber Bride, which is also wonderful, and in some ways, completes the other side of the equation Atwood has begun.

Summary: Teriffic, the best book I've ever read!
Review: I was introduced to this book through my High School novels teacher. We read this as a class and yes, males, also read it. I didn't say they enjoyed it, but I think it made them open ther eyes a little wider.
I do have to say that this was the best book I've ever read. I absolutley fell in love with and read it so fast, this is because it reads fast, but I also couldn't put it down. When I finished it I felt like Elaine was my friend and now that the book was over I had lost her forever. So I re-read the book.
The second time was even better! I picked up on more info and realized a few things I missed the first time with the symbols and allusions that Atwood uses.
I definately recommend this book to EVERYONE!! and also read more Atwood if you like this book,( her poetry is awesome too!)

Summary: Frustrating Eyeball
Review: Horrible. You can't understand a thing. The writing has too much detail which is hard to follow. There are still questions unanswered. There are problems unsolved. This book is frustrating to read. A book that takes forever to read which seems more like an autobiography than a book to read for pleasure. This is a book to read just to say you have another book under your belt. There never is a climax, nothing is really solved. The book seems like a huge run-on sentence that has too many flashbacks. One can get lost going back and forth between past, present, and future. Maybe when I'm older I will understand the thoughts and flashbacks as an elderly woman, but right now this book seems like a waste of time.

Summary: Excellent-A disturbing look at the relationships women have
Review: I really enjoyed Cat's Eye by Margret Atwood. I found it to be not only an intersting look at women's relationships with other women, but I also thought it dealt with how early relationships in life effect a woman's relationships with men. The writing was excellent, and the imagry was absolutely haunting

Summary: A powerful, moving story about female relationships
Review: This was the first book I read by Margaret Atwood, who I dare say is the finest writer alive. Cat's Eye is amazingly well-written...there are no flaws in Atwood's tale of Cordelia and Elaine. As with all Atwood books, the descriptions are exquisite, with a sharp eye to detail and realistic dialogue. I believe this book captures the essence of interactions between women. The message that little girls can be vicious to one another is so true, and these encounters as children can profoundly affect us all our lives. I believe Cat's Eye to be Atwood's best book. I have recommended it to every one of my friends (male and female), each of whom has diverse literary interests, and every one has thanked me for recommending such a wonderful book. No one I've referred it to has regretted reading it! Sure to be considered a classic in the next generation.

Summary: This is one of the smartest written books I have ever read!
Review: I really appreciate the way that Margaret Actwood writes. I wish that there were more writers out there with her poetic ability. There is just something about the poetry that catches you as soon as you read the title then your in for good.

Summary: Girls have it harder than boys.
Review: I know a book is brilliant when I finish it and feel depressed. A few days after finishing Cat's Eye, I was missing Elaine & Cordiela. They are the kind of characters you think you know (or have known) in real life; they feel like friends or memories from childhood. Atwood has that gift -- she pulls you in. It's a wonderful story of a life that could be mine, yours, or the artist showing in the gallery across the street's. It's a book that proves how being a little girl isn't all Barbie Dolls & sunshine. It sucks regardless if you were a tormented Elaine or vendictive Cordelia. Reading this is like reliving it without the pain.

Summary: I'm a man, and I LOVE this book!!!
Review: Margaret Atwood explores the human psyche in this poignant novel about a female protagonist who takes a retrospective on her life by painting pictures of her childhood. Atwood uses different colors to describe the world of artist Elaine Risley. And the use of flashbacks was very effective in telling the story. The main conflict of the novel deals with the reconciliation of Elaine with Cordelia, her childhood tormentor. There is an Elaine and also a Cordelia in all of us, always fighting for domination. Elaine could also be Atwood's alter ego, since their childhood events sometimes coincide. I enjoyed this book very much (though it could've been shorter) and would recommend it to any man and woman

Summary: A book all people can relate too.
Review: An outstanding book which speaks to all readers. The tale of pre-adult relationships and how they can affect the rest of your life. This story helped me identify and understand a little more of my own childhood and taught me that everyone has their own 'cat's eye'
