Best show and book

This show is so good! I read the book, but the show is much more amazing. The characters are very real and has a good storyline. I am very excited for season 2!

I read this book late in my pregnancy and thus the subject matter really affected me. Brilliantly written, well developed characters. The open ending was a pleasant surprise. I highly recommend. I read it in about a day I could not put it down.

This is a great read. A lot of people don't like Margaret Atwood and I don't get why. Her books are easy to read and extremely imaginative. This one is no exception. Though it sounds almost like it could be real, it's 100% fictitious. The end part the other reviewer is referring to is actually set in 3000, so not true at all, but it is quite believable.

The novel is about what it would be like if we were stripped of our humanity for the good of society, especially women. A haunting tale that will get you thinking!

I read this book when I was 16, and have been a huge fan of Margaret Atwood ever since. A lot of people I know don't really like her writing style, but I love it. I find it's very simplistic and yet complex, and The Handmaid's Tale is no exception. I think what shocked me most about this book was when I came to the end of it and found out that what she had written about was actually based on real events.
This is a definite must read!

I discovered this book in first-year English Lit at university. I have been a Margaret Atwood fan ever since. Reminiscent of George Orwell's 1984, this story follows a woman's life as a concubine to the childless elite living in the near future. An interesting critique of gender roles and the will to survive, but more importantly an absolutely fascinating story. Atwood's writing is mesmerizing.

I have purchased this book several times as gifts and everyone I've recommended this to has loved it. A smart, engaging read!
