The Handmaid's Tale

I honestly don't see what all the fuss was about. I felt like it took me way too long to get through. I get that it's scary because it can actually happen but I just found the whole thing kind of boring.

I feel like the ending was like a quick little patch job to cover any criticisms that people might have. Like “Oh you didn't think that was believable? Well it's just one woman's account of what happened, so of course there will be tons of questions.”

I hated the lack of quotation marks during speech, which I guess again is “explained” by the fact that this was a recording but it really made some of the dialogue hard to follow.

I found that I really couldn't feel bad for the character and there wasn't really that much back story to her so I couldn't really get attached to her so I didn't care much about what happened to her at the end. Overall I was happy that it was over.
