Didn't we get the point with the first book, The Handmaid's Tale? Did the sequel add anything? I must admit that I enjoyed Aunt Lydia's perfidy, but was she not in large measure responsible for Gilead's oppression of women in the first place? Her heroism comes a bit late, then. Anyway, I had no intention of reading this until my book club decided to take it on, so . . . I read it. I didn't hate it, but I wish I'd spent my time more profitably.
