Useful as a study guide.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Handmaid's Tale (Bloom's Guides) (Hardcover)
This is a useful study guide to help better understand the text. Not to be used instead of the novel. Better to just read the novel. I have caught many students passing off papers as their own that came from this study guide.

Why Would Anyone Give This Only 4 Stars?,

This review is from: Handmaid's Tale (Bloom's Guides) (Hardcover)
This is easily the most impactful book I have ever read. It is brilliant, in every sense of the word. Every woman should own a copy! "Progressed" men will benefit, too. If you can avoid reading the reviews of this book that describe the whole thing, you'll enjoy it a lot more. I hate when people tell me the story before I get a chance to read it. Be prepared, this book has a strong message.

Not all that,
By LH "Just Ducky!" (Eastern seaboard) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Margaret Atwood's the Handmaid's Tale (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations) (Library Binding)
I read this book expecting a lot more from Margaret Atwood; all I hear about her is high praise.
This book read like a boring diary. I think she intended it to be a allegory on loss of civil rights, esp for women but it's just boring.
