October: Year of Reading Dangerously

I’m reading The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood for my October book. Near done. I’m not writing a review (exactly) for it, because I wouldn’t recommend for teens. It is squarely adult.

Haven’t read Atwood before. I have enjoyed much of the story. It is not a normal pick for me, though. A bit depressing. I can definitely see where she has extrapolated from current events. There are some interesting scenes and psychology, but as a dystopian novel it is depressing, and even anti-male at times.
