This is a book that you like as it is written very well, and it is fascinating but you also hate it because the events are horrifying. I almost threw my copy, I wanted to trow it at the wall out of anger. Not because Margaret Atwood wrote a bad novel but because she wrote a believable novel, and that's scary. As a woman the idea of living this is terrifying and sickening. I applaud Ms. Atwood for being able to make me feel and picture this world so clearly. This is my second novel by this author ...more

I have had this book on my TBR for years, ever since I saw season one of the series. Of course, there are similarities to the series but there are some differences too.
The story is well ahead of it's time when you know it was written in the late seventies.
I enjoyed most of the book, as I have enjoyed the series too.
Why I gave it 4 stars is because there were parts that were a bit boring, her talking too much in her head and describing things I really didn't need to know or added to the story.

This is a tough one to rate. I've clicked back and forth between 3 and 4 stars a few times.

What I can say for sure: This book affected me. Maybe part of that involves reading this book in 2016. It's been a tumultuous year personally for me and socially/politically for my country. I would also attribute it to Atwood's visceral, brutal writing. Her prose is somehow sparse yet loaded, packing a punch with every sentence. It took over one month for me to make it through the book (and it isn't long).
