Me regalaron este libro y debo decir que fue un muy bien regalo. Es di ícil y desgarrador es pensar lo fácil que algo así podría suceder en nuestra sociedad con el movimiento de algunas personas en el poder. 

Este es un libro que toca temas fuertes que tal vez a simple vista no lo pareciera, pero te deja pensando.

I loved the added detail of red during certain scenes. As well as the strong contrast of the blue room and Offred's red dress. Towards the end of the book I felt like I missed a page or that there was a weird time jump. I also wish some things were more clear, but maybe that's explained in the novel and the show.
