i first read the handmaid’s tale about two years ago in my english lit class for an assignment on dystopian novels that i actually ended up using another book for. i’m a huge fan of dystopian fiction, and i was so excited to read a book that dealt with the oppression of women. 

overall, i really enjoyed this book. the flashbacks confused me at first, but slowly i was able to put everything together. as sophie @unefilledepapier said in their review, it seemed almost as though atwood was seeing into the future. while we obviously haven’t gotten as far (and hopefully never will) as the setting of the handmaid’s tale, the way things are shaping up in the world are almost pointing that way.
