The book condition is perfect
One of the worst book I have ever read such a chore to read and not worth it at all

Poor quality
The book came in a really poor condition. The cover was all folded and wrinkled, it seems like it had been handled poorly. This is why we refrain from buying books from Amazon

A cautionary tale. Don't ever think it cannot happen!
It has been a long time coming, but I finally got around to reading this modern classic which was published way back in 1985. It experienced a revival in interest (only in a relative sense because this book is too well-known and readers' interest is always there) in 2016 when Trump came into power. A sequel — The Testaments — came out in 2019 and won the Booker Prize that same year. “The Handmaid’s Tale” is one of a handful of popular/famous novels about dystopia which include Huxley’s “Brave New World”, Orwell’s “1984”, and Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451”. It is highly readable and switches easily between the past and present. It depicts the protagonist’s desperate clinging to her identity and her refusal to give in to the autocratic system in place. The Handmaid's Tale is a cautionary narrative. There are still many who believe that tragedies such as that which unfolded in the story can never befall us. This is a terrible mistake. Our history is replete with many dark events. All it takes is complacency or the presence of supporting conditions to bring about a dystopian future. Our world is constantly beset by changes ... nothing is ever permanent or certain. Anything can happen given the presence of conducive conditions. The values and society we know are fragile. In short, “The Handmaid’s Tale” gives us plenty to think about. It sends out a clear message: Do not take our freedoms and liberal values for granted. They need to be protected.

Truly a good read
Not for those with a closed mind.
