Advantages: An interesting story

Disadvantages: I was never able to get into the book

I don't know how much this book costs in the store as I received it free for my A-level however I have read the book twice now so therefore know quiet a lot about it.

The book itself I did not particularly enjoy, however it would be perfect for females into a scfi read.

The story is set in the Republic of Gilead in the future and is based on the story of Offred a handmaid in the story. Offred is a handmaid as few women can now have children and it is her job to have children for richer families known as the Commander and the Commanders Wife. However Offred remembers to much from pre Gilead. The point of the story is how her life was and what it will become in the future.

I don't want to give to much away about the book as it would ruin it for prospective readers of this book. I do reccommend it for women into scifi as it has a futuristic feel to it but is still a story which would interest those not interested in scifi.

Summary: Has a very scifi feel
