A review by beatricehill
The Handmaid's Tale (Graphic Novel) by Margaret Atwood

dark emotional sad tense fast-paced

The Handmaid's Tale is an equally terrifying and exceptional story. It was a choice book in AP Literature and one of my students got the graphic novel on their own and shared it with me to read. I have loved listening in on my students' conversations and them grappling with the big ideas Margaret Atwood presents. The graphic novel is well done and there are some really interesting things the artist does to share Atwood's story in a powerful way. From a teaching standpoint, I would pair it with the original text. This revisit makes me want to read The Testaments again.
