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 graphic adaptation is visually beautiful and conveys the dystopian tone and social complexities of the story in a way that enhanced my appreciation for Atwood's novel. (I haven't seen the TV series) There is enough discretion in the visual details that much is left to the reader's imagination, yet the horror of the story's reality is not diminished. This is dark, depressing stuff, especially since the fiction is not far enough away from the facts.

There's no happy ending

The whole book was transfixing, the last few pages a disappointment… but maybe that was the point. History is often like that. Things rarely end in a bang… they just end.
