Příběh služebnice
- Realistic dystopia when it comes to physical world of Gilead. No futuristic weapons, aliens, natural disasters, mutants, etc. None of that baloney, thank GOD!
+ Questions asked and problems described by Atwood are crucial. Book can greatly serve as a starting point for such a discussion regardless of your gender, religious belief or current year.
+ Masochistic (that itch was scratched well).
- Narrative style is really incoherent ( anyone else? just me?). It's a pity because the story had a huge potential.
- I wish I've read this earlier before TV series was a thing (didn't watch it though). Maybe my expectations were too high because of all the hype. I tend to avoid such a hot novels. Now I remembered why.
I feel as I should give this another try later on.
