For a bit of a younger crowd than I expected, but still a very good story. Will definitely read the other two in the series.

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

5.0

I wasn't overly fond of the disjointed storytelling and the general way it was written-even though it was well written. The general style was just not my thing. However... the story itself was great, so I couod easily overlook the style issue.
It was gripoing from start to end and kept me wanting to know more.

Lamentablememte no ayudó a mi opinión del primer libro.
Este segundo no tenía tanto misterio, era más drama familiar, transición de un tiempo a otro, y una vez más se lee como un serial. 

Si bien por si solos los libros son baratos y las ediciones, preciosas, al final del día la serie te sale màs cara que un libro solo- y es como deberían haberlo publicado: en una única entrega. Creo que me hubiese gustado más de ser así. Haciéndolo por partes pierden lectores en medio.

Me intriga a dónde va la historia pero va demasiado lento para mi gusto.
