The Handmaid's Tale

I was very excited to finally read this book but it left me somehow unsatisfied. The dystopian world of Gilead does sound complex, atrocious and also interesting. However the story of how the world became the way it is felt incomplete and we didn't really get much details of how it works or why it was okay for everyone to live in the system of Gilead.I found the narrative a little bit erratic, the main protagonist kept jumping from one memory in the past back to the present and it was very confusing at times. We know much more details about the main protagonists past before Gilead than the Gilead world itself which I think is a bit of shame and the potential of this story could be great but it is missed out. Also, what was wrong with the dialogue commas? I really couldn't tell if the characters are talking to each other or if the sentences are in the head of our protagonist.But I appreciate that the author choose kind of “open” ending for the readers and let us ask the questions if she really did get out of the Gilead or was she killed or worse... was she caught?
