A review by remilauren
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
3.0
Throughout reading, I kept waiting for something to happen. I don't know what really I was expecting but the end didn't really make sense to me. Now, is the sequel for that? Or am I not understanding this well enough, am I missing something, I won't know.
All the great reviews saying the book would stay with me, um, as of now I doubt that would happen. On the other hand, the not-so-happy reviewers' comments on quotes, it really didn't bother me much.
On the whole, I don't hate this book, it was worth reading. But it didn't impact me anyhow. Will read the sequel and see if it does something.
Update: I read the Historical Notes chapter after seeing some of the reviews. It's definitely helped me understand the other characters. It's given a justification to the ending. But I wish this could have been incorporated as a part of the story rather than having a single chapter. I felt as if this chapter told me much more than what the entire book had to tell.
