5.0 out of 5 stars Why Would Anyone Give This Only 4 Stars?
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...

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful as a study guide.
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not all that, June 9, 2008

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.
