Absolutely heartbreaking. The story is interjected with some of the most incredible prose I've read in a while.

It is a difficult book to get through, in an emotional way. I am so frustrated the way women were being treated, it was a terrifying way to live.  I absolutely loved Offred, she was someone that just seemed so helpless and lost, just getting through with her thoughts, I liked Ofglen and Nick, I some how gravitated towards them even though you didn't know much about them.
