Me regalaron este libro y debo decir que fue un muy bien regalo. Es di ícil y desgarrador es pensar lo fácil que algo así podría suceder en nuestra sociedad con el movimiento de algunas personas en el poder. 

Este es un libro que toca temas fuertes que tal vez a simple vista no lo pareciera, pero te deja pensando.

This dystopian world that Atwood has created is chilling in its portrayal of female bodily autonomy and how it can be erased from society.

I don't know how much it is because I don't read many graphic novels,  but I feel like you might struggle to follow this if you aren't familiar with the story. I'm vaguely familiar with the plot but still felt a little lost at times. That being said, the art is absolutely beautiful and I enjoyed the different colour choices for different times and themes.
