It sounds like you were expecting a thriller or something full of action and turnabouts etc. The monotony of being stuck with Offred's thoughts as she goes about the daily life forced on her is pretty much an essential point of this wonderful novel. I see what you mean but it felt to me like you were expecting this novel to be something it isn't is all. I found it extremely substantial and gifted in doing exactly what you didn't like :).

That could very well be it. What do you like about it?

world building, terrifying atmosphere, and the emotional turmoil of the setting boiled down to an offputting monotony from offred.
