Spot on, thank you."How tedious is a tyranny in the throes of enactment. It's always the same plot." So why does Margaret Atwood choose to tell the story again? That question has haunted me since I heard the announcement of the project almost a year ago. WHY? I was convinced I would hate the hype and the gushing reviews and the book itself, and started reading with the attitude of someone who knew the story didn't need telling again.To my surprise, I liked it from the start, and soon engaged in the thriller
Sara wrote: "This is EXACTLY how I'm feeling (I finished the book five mins ago)."Yes yes yeees!
I haven't even finished season 2 of the tv show since it was so emotionally draining but here I am reading this!!
Cannot agree more.
A review in 5 words: Unnecessary. Pointless. Ruining. Bland. Spoilers.
I found it to be welcome possibility to give me hope we can at least overcome the Gilead we are close to entering into here and now. It may take time,
