I’ll be honest… I don’t think I care much for Margaret Atwood’s writing style with this book… 😩

I really like the idea and premise of this book, but just didn’t like how it was executed.

At times, I felt so lost because of how things were written and other times I felt like I was read someone’s diary.

I don’t feel like Margaret Atwood did that great of a job of painting a picture of the world she created in this book. I think a lot of things are left in the dark and then revealed to the reader WAY TOO LATE in the book. 

It lost my attention at times and at a certain point, I just couldn’t wait to be done with it. 

Idk about this one, but I’ve heard great things about the show so I might give that a try.
