Customer Reviews

It’s almost NEW

Definitely prefer this one compared to the handmaid’s tale. Both are must-read!

Excellent

Came quick book is like new

It was fine.

It was fine, but the narrative style is so different from the Handmaids Tale and I wasn’t really a fan of the way Atwood chose to tell the different stories in this one. This book is a miss for me, but if you liked the Handmaids Tale and reeeally like the show, I think you would probably enjoy this book.

Fantastic follow up

A little tricky w/ the multiple narrators (so i listened to the audiobook too) but excellent extension of the original book and netflix show and fills in a little more of the system of Gilead
