The Handmaid's Tale

Stayed up way too late finishing The Handmaid's Tale. Worth every lost hour of sleep.

Recommended by three different friends and they were all right - The Handmaid's Tale is that good.

Some genuinely great moments in The Handmaid's Tale, buried in pacing that dragged.

Margaret Atwood has a new fan. The Handmaid's Tale is exactly the kind of dystopian I keep hoping to find.

The Handmaid's Tale hit every note I wanted from a dystopian book, and then some.

This might be my favorite dystopian read all year. The Handmaid's Tale earns every bit of its hype.

Devastating and completely unwilling to give you a clean ending. Respect the commitment.

Buddy read this with three friends and we had to take breaks between chapters, which feels like the correct response.

Reread this after the show and the book hits so much harder - quieter and somehow scarier. Atwood does not waste a single sentence.
