I am a very slow reader but found this book easy to get through. It has plenty of interesting themes running through it, good character development and a very unique plot-line that kept me interested.

What detracted from the story was the total lack of punctuation. This meant that I often had to re-read passages once it became apparent that what I was reading was dialogue. The story itself was interesting; the way it was told - not great.

Atwood created a very human, recognisable character. The flashbacks to her previous life bring home the horror of the way life changed and losses and indignities she had to endure. She makes a dystopian existence frighteningly tangible. a very compelling read.

I had never heard of this book before, or 1984! But felt compelled to read it as I believe the content is becoming more relevant than you think. Reading the tale of one persons account of a totalitarian and patriarchal regime that inflicts pain and suffering on people who do not conform with total disregard for humanity. I very much enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

I enjoyed reading this book and found it quite compelling. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that I do love a happy ending and this book left too many question marks for my liking.
