Kids see much worse on tv and real life than the scenes here now with the Drumph running for Prez. Pence even tried to pass a law requiring all fetuses have a funeral or some such thing. I read this in my early 20's and thought it was a great book/story. I am re-reading it now at 50 and see the parallels to today's society (or, attempted parallels) is scary. Ms. Atwood, you are an amazing and profound writer.(less)
