In both your post and your comments you are acting like calling a book “poorly written” is a subjective opinion. Which it is not. At all. I’ve loved books poorly written and hated those that weren’t but that doesn’t change how the words were arranged on the page. You might not have liked the story or the pacing but don’t confuse that with it being “written poorly”.
Moreover, calling anything Margaret Atwood writes as “poorly written” is an insult to the written word. She is a master wordsmith and I would argue she is a living legend who will be mentioned with the all time greats.
Don’t confuse your opinion on liking something to it value or worth.

Thank you for stating this much better than I ever could.
I personally didn't like the book, but it was so beautifully written I couldn't put it down. I definitely would have DNF'd a lesser writer.

Very nicely said. I loathe when people do this. You can dislike a book for what it is or isn’t, but attacking a writers ability, when the ability isn’t the issue is so juvenile.
