Of all of her works, I wouldn't say this is my favorite but of course it's still worth a read!!

The narrators didn’t help but it felt incredibly cheesy. The dystopian aspect fell flat

An intriguing tale. My first Margaret Atwood book, and I shall read more. It did feel like serialised fiction, in that some parts seemed to vary in pace, and there were sections where I feel some of the narrative didn't contribute to the story. But, overall, a good read.

An interesting look at freedom and mental thought processes and love.

This was a weird read. Like a dystopian smut novel. Not what I thought I was getting into. The actual dystopian parts were interesting.
