Summary: This was a good book~but it was hard to get into reading it
Review: I guess for the fact that I had liked the book that I first read before this one so much, that it was really hard to enjoy and get into this book. But then after the 200 page mark it got a lot better. I still will rate this book with a three just for the fact that it was an average book not awesome but not the worst one either. I would however, recommend this book to others~ but also don't read One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest before it.

Summary: Good book,bad ending
Review: I really liked this book. I thought that it used great description, the way that it set up scenes in the book made me feel like I was watching a movie. The ending just fell flat for me I need a Handmaids Tail two. I suggest this book for winter reading.

Summary: Nolite te bastardes carbonderium...
Review: This book leaves me speechless. Absolutely haunting, it left me dazed and slightly fearful of our present society, in which everything is controlled by computer. It took me all of a day to finish the book for a modern novel course, after which we interpreted the book through photographs. I was amazed by the things i saw that made me think 'Handmaid Moment'. Did you see that the personal notification service for amazon.com is called the Eye?

Summary: Fnord
Review: The first part just plain sucked. The thought that our world could degrade to such a point is simply pathetic. Suspend the constitution, Oh Puhleeeze! Afterm page 200 it gets better and things start to fall into place. But you have to read the historical notes for it to make any sense at all. "NO sir, I don't like it."

Summary: This was a good book
Review: I really liked this book. It was creepy and it was very suspenseful. I was totally happy with the ending and I would definately recommend it to anyone. If you're a person who has problems with trust, this book will change your life. As soon as I was done reading it, I cried with joy for about an hour. It was very poetic, which maade the story so much better. It's a little hard to take in at first, but after the first 100 pages, I couldn't put it down. It was great.

Summary: A classic for all feminists!
Review: I read this book as an "outside reading" English requirement, and I thought,why can't we read these novels in class? This was an excellent novel. It was very descriptive and full of emotion. There wasn't a big plot, but this isn't an action story here. It was a welcome relief from the endless parade of books in school that focus on race (Black Boy, The Joy Luck Club, Bless Me Ultima) and one that foucsed on the writing and emotions. As for criticisms about repetition, Atwood used it to get the reader to understand that Offred's was unimaginably boring, but some were, again, just looking for an action story. This belongs in my collection of classics, "where description is appreciated!"

Summary: GREAT BOOK! but isn't that far away from what could be.
Review: I thought this book by Margaret Atwood was wonderful. I just couldn't put it down. The scary thing about it is that it isn't all that far fetched. In the future times could change like that and we wouldn't even know what hit us. In the words of Siskel and Ebert a definite TWO thumbs WAY up!

Summary: Political Correctness at its shrillest
Review: I was forced to read this book in high school. It was boring and I could not relate to it at any level. Too much talk about emotions, feelings, etc and not enough action. But the worst part was that it trashes guys relentlessly, as if we would want to live in Atwood's Orwellian vision of the future either.

Summary: repeat and repeat and repeat again to make sure we understoo
Review: boring, repeatedly boring, nothing new, nothing bizarre, How come people are amazed by this book don"t they know anything about History ? Atwood is not inventive, besides if you have time enough count the few words she uses...always the same. Atwood is not a great writer, she is merely a writer. A boring dystopian novel...already written by others in a real better way. Don't read it better ACT.
