Margaret Atwood did an incredible job with this book, and it’s a great follow on from the Handmaids tale. However, I would say that her writing did prevent me from realising that, in reflection, the events of the book were quite slow until the last 150 pages or so, which is why the book loses a star.
Graphic: Genocide, Misogyny, Mass/school shootings, and Religious bigotry
Moderate: Violence, Kidnapping, and Suicide attempt
