    It is a good book (I’m too much of a chicken to watch much of the show).

    It is very immersive and a difficult read, but masterful storytelling.

    I honestly think it should be required reading.

      I tried reading The Handmaid’s Tale several years ago and struggled to get into it, I felt like it kept jumping around but it wasn’t immediately obvious right away. I think I ended up giving up about 25% the way through which I’ve never done with any book. I’d seen the show too which I thought would have helped. Maybe I’ll give it another go sometime.
