I read this book after already watching the TV series. That seems important to mention because it definitely influenced my love of the book. I don't think I've ever said I love a book with a premise that I hate as much as this one, but that is the point.
This book, if you're unaware, is based in the dystopian future society where women are slaves to men in the biblical society, Gilead, where they reside. They are stripped of their names and used only for what they can bring to society. The premise is disgusting and shocking. If you're looking for a feel-good book, this isn't it. But it is important. It will give you feelings about your own worth. There are even lessons in there about perseverance and what humans are capable of withstanding.
Recommended.
