This was a reread and I just thoroughly enjoy this book. I listened to the audiobook and Claire Danes did an absolutely wonderful job. Her narration added so much to the story, and I'm not someone who's usually too focused on the audiobook itself. As for the story, I just really enjoy how Margaret Atwood tells it. The limited perspective and voice is so incredibly well done and I adore Offred's character, the way that we're not given a hero. We just have a normal woman with flaws. It makes it so easy to relate to her, and so much more scary because there isn't a savior. It just feels like reality.

I do think the lack of closure and understanding of the society makes this a four star instead of a five for me. The reason it doesn't bother me more is because the limited perspective is the point and it is so amazing, but I'm always left with the desire to know more. I do come away feeling a bit incomplete, which seems purposeful by Atwood, but that's something I do struggle with.

Overall, such a worthwhile read and I'm so glad I reread it.
