A review by marvelissa1
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

5.0

A Must Read - even if you watch the Hulu show

Incredibly good writing - disturbing, gripping, story that is a cautiinary of where ultra conservative Christianity and unquestioned patriarchy turned into the law of the land could take us. A lesson in why separation of church and state is vitally important. I love Jesus, but I know we cannot legislate belief - this story shows one version of what can happen when religious fanatics force their will upon a population.
