If a time capsule (not to be opened for 500 years) of books written in the latter-half of the 20th century were to be made, this would be my contribution. Then, I'd be a spirit who could observe the reactions and read the 2400 A.D. analysis of it - a female spirit with memory of the latter-1900s. Ooooh something to look forward to! ...more

Even though most of us reading this would read it and say, "No, this couldn't happen. There's no way." What's scary about the book is that it's entirely plausible. Scarily so, in fact. With the way society is degrading and with about 90% of our country's funds being electronic it wouldn't be hard either.
As far as the novel itself goes it was an excellent book with a fascinating, uncomfortable story and the add-on at the end makes it seem all the more real. ...more

This book really makes you realise how lucky you are, I really felt for Offred as she had a normal life before she was made into a handmaid. It is a very creepy story that you can imagine could come true. After this book I definitely want to read more by Atwood.

Feminist classic. I'm not sure if that was intentional on Atwood's part. Beautifully written. ...more
