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

Initial thoughts: Read the first 15 pages. Writing style is not exactly unique. Minimal usage of punctuations and a high usage of he/she said through which Atwood tries to invoke a feeling like you're reading a play. Reminds me of someone, though I can't quite place who? Perhaps Orwell in some aspects. The main character has memories of a past in which she was freer: a similar trope to 1984, an important setting for dystopia of this kind- a past memory serving as a horror for the present experiences.
