The Handmaid’s tale, by Margaret Atwood, is a very complicated and confusing book to understand. This book is kind of like 1984 with the whole “Big Brother is watching you” theme.
The book is about a girl named Offred and how she is controlled by the government and has no rights. She stays in a house with a married couple and has to do everything they say basically. She tries her best to be her own person and sneaks out of the house at night and does things that she is not supposed to do. Especially the ending, it jus leaves you wondering and thinking what really happened.
At first, the book starts off very slow and is really not that exciting, but when you really get deep into the book, it is very interesting and funny. You would even think at times, that you are in the book. The characters in the book are very funny and questionable because they see things happening throughout the book but never really say anything about it, like they are scared of the government. I think in some way, somehow, someone or something is watching them at all times.
This book is very interesting and very funny and will have you curious at the same time. I loved this book and I think you will too!
