What a page turner! This was an excellent sequel to the handmaid's tale. Atwood truly does have a way with words. The book answered so many (but not all of) the questions that I had from reading the handmaids tale, and really allowed me to reflect on our current society and the small and less extreme similarities that modern society has to Gilead. It was also really good that we had two different perspectives from those raised and not raised in Gilead.
