The Handmaid's Tale - by Margaret Atwood

A great read - I can understand why it is considered a classic. The author consistently gives the reader enough information to understand what is happening, but withholds just enough to keep you wondering and turning the pages.

I found the story quite disturbing, because I found it totally credible. I can believe that, in a country where states mandate teaching creationism and totally ban abortion, things could get out of hand and the result would be the nightmarish world of this book.

I think I might try to find the TV adaptation now ...
