A review by lar_iiious
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
5.0
This is one of those rare books that actually make you think.
I like how the story is written. I like how the narration always jumps in time and there are abrupt changes of scene and everything feels just really authentic. Bare. Real. Raw.
I love the epilogue and even though the ending wasn't actually satisfying it felt right and I guess everything else would have felt forced and fake.
So. This novel is full of raw emotions, disturbing and frightening events, it's honest, sometimes not easy to read and in a way it makes you ponder all those important and difficult fundamental questions.
In a way I feel like "The Handmaid's tale" is about everything in life. About love, purpose, belonging, belief, trust, truth, death and birth.
There's a lot I could say about this book but I feel like I wouldn't do it justice and that's why I'm going to leave it at this.
