THE HANDMAID'S TALE | MARGARET ARWOOD

Panpan

I did not enjoy this. I don‘t understand the hype and how this was made into a successful tv show. The writing is choppy, clumsy, and a fragmented jumble of thoughts thrown together. I was unable to connect with any of the characters, and that‘s not because I didn‘t understand what was happening. This was not the literary masterpiece I was expecting. The ending made some sense of the writing, but I already made up my mind. Book #64 in 2024

Born in an affluent Jewish family comes with expectations that include going to college to marry well and become the perfect housewife Marilyn was having none of it. 5 stars for sure; captivating writing and excellent character development. The surprise at the end, *chefs kiss! Book #64 in 2023

Book #64
3.5/5
If you have watched the documentary about Pam on Netflix, there really isn't much need to read this book; there really isn't anything additional except for Pam's philosophical ideas. If you haven't seen the doc, and you're curious about who Pamela really is, this is worth reading.

Gaslighting. This book is exactly was gaslighting looks like!!!! I loved Rachel and Tully. My heart broke for Heather and Pam. A dysfunctional family with loads of drama and a touch of dark mystery. I devoured this book and can‘t wait for my next SH novel! Book #64 in 2022

1. Yes!! I have my own classic book challenge this year (one a month from my Modern Library collection). Tagged is this month's read.

2. I'll answer with a very old classic. I've had Seamus Heaney's trans. of Beowulf forever, & I've still not read it. Did read Sioned Davies trans. of The Mabinogion last year. Loved it. But poor Beowulf keeps getting buried on my TBR.

Thanks @TiminCalifornia for tagging me.

Am I really that old?
