I haven't read any other Atwood book, but this was a rather interesting introduction to her style of writing.

Set in a horrible dystopia, the book inspires a sense of dread throughout the pages, as Orwellian things continue to happen to the characters in the book. It is uncomfortable on purpose, and makes an obvious statement about the state of affairs in modern society as well.

A book that focuses heavily on the rights of women, with the overturning of Roe v Wade in America, its lessons are all the more relevant to us now.
