A review by amanda1793
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
3.0
Finally finished. The app I had been using to listen to this book stopped playing at 12 hours. Ugh.
I found this book interesting. I also have some fear for the future based on this story.
I found it interesting that the men in this world attempt to both "worship" and "oppress" the women. These terms are used lightly (especially "worship"). I had a hard time at first discovering why this book is such a feminist story (based on the oppression that is VERY evident), and then nearing the end I discovered the reasons, to a degree.
I would recommend this story to anyone. I am very intrigued to watch the show and hope to enjoy it just as much.
