The ultimate guide for any first time NaNoWriMo-er. Plenty of laughs, plenty of advice and plenty of fuel to get you through those 50,000 words in November. It's well worth getting the more up to date version as this version felt a little out-dated at times and I'm sure the more recent version has even more useful and relevant advice.
For 80% of this novel I was sure it was going to be a 5-star-er.
I thought about it when I was at work. I told my boyfriend about it when another horrifying part was revealed. I Googled it and found some recent articles written about the author about writing this book (and then stopped reading them halfway through to avoid spoilers). These are all signs that I'm in love with a book.
BUT I didn't like the beginning and I didn't like end. There was too much guesswork and I also found the timeline just a little too confusing (and I'm totally comfortable with guesswork and confusion at any stage in a book).
Other reviewers will explain better than me what The Handmaid's Tale is all about and you SHOULD read this, at least once in your lifetime. I'm so glad I read it and look forward to reading it again in the future, when hopefully it is still a frightening dystopian fantasy.
