A review by nikkigribuste
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

3.0

this took so long to read, oh my god. i gave this a 3/5 because personally i’ve never read a book like this before. i read this purely because i wanted to take a level english and knew after i finished the book, i would not be able to talk about it. however, i loved the concept of this book and the themes of feminism. it made me a bit sad too tbh. there was more description than dialogue, and the dialogue in general was a bit strange with no speech marks. furthermore, it was a little bit too chunky in my opinion and i kept feeling drained whilst reading and kept checking when the book will end. looking forward to seeing it the tv show might take away some of the exhaust.

not my favourite this year.
