Excellent - By: H. R. Allen, 30 Jun 2008 
This book is ideal for revision at A level, although make sure you actually read The Handmaids Tale. I found it very useful, & it made interesting points.
Loved it - By: Travelling Light, 04 Jun 2007 
A religious state reacts to its falling birthrate by turning on its female citizens. The Government forces its population to revert to an Old Testament culture, thus the handmaid who is expected to bear children for childless ruling class.
A Book Club Disappointment - By: , 26 Mar 2006 
This title was one of the selected booksin our book club & I was really looking forward to reading it! However, after a strong start the writer appeared to not only lose direction but managed to lose most of our book club too.
Sorry to say - I can't recommend this book.
