The story itself is a bit predictable, but it's still interesting to see how everything plays out. I especially liked the parts with Aunt Lydia and Agnes Jemima. They were my favorite characters. Daisy was kind of annoying, though. I couldn't stand her.
One thing I didn't like was the ending for Aunt Lydia. I thought it was kind of harsh. But overall, I enjoyed the book. It was a good read.

This book builds upon its predecessor's world with glorious detail. How does one become an aunt? Where do they live? Whay happens to daughters of commanders? How does Mayday work?
We finally have answers to these questions from the Handmaid's Tale. I think in someways, it can undo the since of dread the the ending The Handmaid's Tale left, but that isn't a bad thing. The core theme of the book is hope and hope it does leave.
