The Handmaid's Tale

This took a long time for me to read. I kept having to put it down after reading only a chapter or two at a time. It was so realistic it nauseated me. I had that pit in my stomach you get when you are dreading something. Not that I was dreading the book so much, but what the book was telling of a future that isn't so unrealistic. There was nothing I was reading, where I thought, ‘that would never happen in real life' because to be honest, every single thing in this book could. And it's terrifying.
