So yes, I jumped on the bandwagon. This has been making the rounds lately both because of the political climate we're currently struggling through and the series that is soon to be released.
This is my first Margaret Atwood book and I will say I enjoyed the writing. It was structured very differently from most books. There would be a pause in between paragraphs where it was unclear if our narrator was recollecting a memory, speaking about what was currently happening or just dreaming. But it all ...more

The book was nowhere near as engaging as I expected it would be.
Sure I have watched the series and I thought the series and the book were close to each other in the storyline.
This would be one of the few times I have ever said a series is better than the book.

Yep, I am disappointed, I really expected better.

Although this book has a tendency to ramble a little and add pages that aren't necessary, the story is fascinating! Characters are believable, it's shocking and it pulls you along beautifully.

I read this book in college and it is still vivid in my mind. A very good book, and great for college literature classes.
Loved this! Can't wait for the show to start next week
