A review by punkboibluez
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

5.0

I thought this book was anxiety inducing when I read it in 2017. Little did I know what was coming in the next decade. It’s now horrifically close to the current political climate. I’m glad I can still read it. They got through it, hopefully we will too with much less horror!
