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

4.0

I am not a fan of cliffhangers, so the ending left me disappointed. However, I did enjoy the balance of an "everyday woman" put into these drastic situations. There are no heroes here, only villains and those who suffer under them. A world that isn't really working for anyone, it seems, and yet they have gone too far to admit that.

Scary how mundane all of it is. How quiet. And some of the details seem appealing. Freedom from. But all of it comes at a cost no one should ever have to pay.
