While reading it myself, I was able to distance its horrors from some of the problems we face today, or else I certainly would have been more freaked out while reading it. One thing that you didn't mention in your review but that really resonated with me was Atwood's beautiful prose. The fact that it was so well-written also helped me find other things to focus on besides some of the book's darker aspects ha. But I liked reading your more critical review of this story. It is well worth a read and certainly doesn't deserve to be banned.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-40823682233647486732013-09-30T14:13:47.524+01:002013-09-30T14:13:47.524+01:00Hmmm...

It was interesting because my teacher made us schedule a time to talk to her about it before or after school instead of writing a report about it. This book was so nightmarish and made me feel so much. And the <i>end</i>! How'd you like that? It bothered me.
