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

3.0

This was thought-provoking and the poetic paragraphs were very pretty, there’s nothing in me that can doubt that this book was written beautifully and skillfully. It just didn’t hit me as hard as I had hoped it might, I didn’t feel all that immersed in the world. And frankly, I only continued to read through my boredom because my dad wants to watch the TV show, and work was SUPER slow today. The strongest element to me was definitely the dystopian society itself. I found the concept really held my attention and interest, exploring the frightening and uncomfortable ideas on the uses of women and their bodies.
