4.5

An incredibly thought provoking novel. Atwood creates a world that eerily mirrors our own, forcing us to reflect on how we react with the world we live in. This was such a rewarding read. I would say the book is more suited to those who enjoy analogies. Not an easy read- check trigger warnings beforehand!
