The Handmaid's Tale

A 4.5/4.8 star read. Only just missed out on a 5 star rating for me as I didn't have a gut reflex 5 star response. Deeply haunting and startlingly relevant read. A disturbing dystopian novel (but when is a dystopian ever anything but disturbing right?). A must read for any Feminists. Atwood writes beautiful prose and has a wickedly vivid imagination. It's a world that you become immersed and invested in. A must read novel for not just Atwood and dystopian fans but anyone who wants to read a multi-layered story that provokes many questions around morality and ethics.
