readrachb 's review for:

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

---

im not really sure how i feel about this. it didn’t feel like this great piece of feminist literature. the main character is actually rather unlikeable. the ending is a cliffhanger and i don’t think she actually wanted to be saved. will she be? i won’t be continuing to find out.

i did find many moments struck me with horror however so that definitely still holds. i think offred gave everyone around her too much credit. the commander. nick. her walking partner i dont even remember the name of.
