nilseman 's review for:

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
4.5
challenging dark mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

really liked it. i enjoyed that the main character was flawed and how she contrasted with her feminist mother and best friend. i liked the mystery and how it explored sexism. not sure how i felt about the framing device as revealed at the end
