I didn’t care for it either, although I think it’s very well-written and I’ve enjoyed other books by Atwood. I just felt I was being hit over the head repeatedly with how awful the society of Gilead was. I got it the first time - didn’t need to have it described 27 different ways. Unlike most posters I appreciated hearing from someone else who didn’t like this nearly universally revered novel.
