really liked it


I watch very little TV but I read constantly. It’s therefore incredibly unusual for me to have watched a whole two seasons of The Handmaids Tale and not even picked up the book.
Despite having issues with the TV show I stuck with it and soon became addicted. With the end of season two I wasn’t ready to let this go so I reached for the book.

I have to say with the exception of the ending I preferred the book. I was surprised how short the book was. After watching 23 episodes I expected the book itself would be longer.

While the book is not without its faults it’s probably the most frightening dystopian I’ve read.

Julie Still haven't read the book or seen the television series. I hope to tackle this one sometime this year. Terrific review, Deborah! 😊😊

Emma Good review as always. I have not seen the show but I did wonder how they made a whole show. And even a second season. wow.

Thanks Emma 💕
And they’ve started on the third.
I was surprised by how short the actual book was. I’d expected a lot more pages but then since it didn’t have an end a lot of pages were saved there. 🤣
