finished reading The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood (The Handmaid's Tale, #1)

Margaret Atwood: The Handmaid's Tale (Hardcover, 1986, Houghton Mifflin Company)

The Handmaid's Tale is not only a radical and brilliant departure for Margaret Atwood, it …

Truly an awful book...one of the worst I've ever read. And I don't mean the subject matter, which was obviously intended to be a deeply disturbing look at a possible future of oppression cloaked as righteousness. The writing style was horrible, full of grammatical errors, disjointed, and thoroughly uninteresting. All in all, reading this book felt like a complete and total waste of time. I can't recommend it to anyone, even as a warning of a possible dystopian future we may be headed towards.
