THE TESTAMENTS by Margaret Atwood (THE HANDMAID'S TALE, #2)

The Testaments by Margaret Atwood My Goodreads rating: 4 of 5 stars My Personal Rating: 8/10 (B+) Great Ahhh -this book was EVERYTHING that I wanted THE HANDMAID's TALE to be and more. Everything that I felt was missing in THE HANDMAID'S TALE was represented in this book - so thank you Margaret Atwood! So glad I ready THE HANDMAID'S TALE after THE TESTAMENTS came out so I didn't have to wait so long as others did to have this book in my hands.

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood My GoodReads rating: 4 of 5 stars My Personal rating: A-, Impressive As I finished this book - I wanted to both throw it against the wall and immediately pick up the next one. It only scratches the surface of what I want and NEED to know more deeply. Each time I got invested it shifted gears and I thought more was to come... it was and it wasn’t. I’m both in love with this book and sad that I don’t have my answers. Give me 200 more pages in this book with the details that I need and it would have been 5 stars for me. I have not seen the Hulu series but now I believe it is time - I’ve been told that this will help fill that itch I have to know more of the details behind EVERYTHING. And I will be reading THE TESTAMENTS very soon! View all my reviews
