A MUST HAVE FOR ANY HANDMAID'S TALE FAN!!!

I've already read the book but this graphic novel is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen with my eyes, they managed to summarize this complex story into these beautiful illustrations that reminded me of all the things I felt while reading about this frightening world.

love the adaptation! some of the spreads are so incredible and invoke many strong emotions. best enjoyed after reading the original handmaid’s tale, seeing as some of the smaller details and information are lost from the transition from novel to graphic novel (as one would expect).
