Extraordinary. Interesting book to revisit through my life as an aging woman as my perspective continually evolves.

I’ve watched most of the show based on this book, and wanted to read the book too. Just like the show, the book is chilling and eye opening. I highly recommend reading this one, and I plan on reading The Testament too.

Ms. Atwood, I’d like to formally apologize for living much of my adult life having never read a novel of yours, worried your work was too over-hyped to me growing up as a young canadian and aspiring writer myself, and was perhaps not as great as I had heard it to be. I was simply unfamiliar with your game: your writing is utterly, breathtakingly well-done. I sincerely apologize.

Really interesting narration style, a little jarring and ending resolves very little.
Whoa. Very creative and interesting. Now I'm curious about the tv series they made from this book. First book I've read by Margaret Atwood, won't be the last.
