[Anonymous No.9565502]

its shit unless you want to understand the delusional beliefs of feminists who think it is an accurate predictor of the future

It's not a sci-fi as much as a way to write indirectly about feminism for 3rd world women

>It's another Hunger Games tier dystopian novel

Christ, is this the only thing women can write now? What happened to your Emily Dickensons, Virginia Wolfs,Sontags, Brontes, Adlers or Rands? This is embarrassing.

Pretty good. People get triggered by it, but it's a good read. Very depressing though.

Personally I disliked it. Very obvious and shallow political critique aside, the pacing of the story was trash and Offred was the most useless protagonist of all time. I did like the epilogue though, where the future historians discussed that time period. Only part that actually stuck with me.

It's because teenage girls read and are super vocal about the little they do read. They like trash fantasy masquaraing as realistic with dystopian/post-apoc literature. The strong teenage girl bringing down the patriarchy is their fantasy.

It's a shallow straw man of the political right which abuses shitty emotional triggers to make you invest in the story and useless protagonist.

Hackwork. It's all about the "message" which could be written on the head of a pin.

'80s paranoia weirdly resurrected to buttress the left in its moment of absolute triumph.
