Review: The Handmaid's Tale

The Handmaid's Tale The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I found the suspense in the story very well managed by Atwood. It was a very compelling read, once you got into the setting. I read her MaddAdamm books before this, and really enjoyed them. In comparison, this felt more like the less technical 1970s. I am looking forward to reading this one's recent sequel to see if the difference in when it was written makes a difference to the story.
