liviburke1 's review for:

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
4.0
dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This story was like looking in a mirror and looking behind me at the same time. Offred is such a complex character and the similarities to our current world are uncanny. I would have appreciated more details on what led to this situation and Gilead , as well as more information on what led to the three women who were punished.
