austinisweird 's review for:

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
3.5
challenging dark mysterious sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

-----⭐⭐⭐


I think that this book tells a powerful story and this is a warning but the writing style wasn't it; When Atwood writes flashback scenes if there is dialogue she won't put quotation marks around the dialogue. It's a really annoying thing thinking this is a character's internal thought when it's actually just then talking to another character in the past. It just bugs me;
