Me regalaron este libro y debo decir que fue un muy bien regalo. Es di ícil y desgarrador es pensar lo fácil que algo así podría suceder en nuestra sociedad con el movimiento de algunas personas en el poder. 

Este es un libro que toca temas fuertes que tal vez a simple vista no lo pareciera, pero te deja pensando.

A brutal look into a hopeless dystopia, this unique take on women's issues was a thought-provoking read. It is paired with a unique artstyle that I really enjoyed.

Powerful, moving, involving. It was my first meeting with Gilead, but I want to dive into the universe deeper and discover the original Atwood's books and maybe the tv series? I really liked the style of the visual interpretation and the world's creation
