    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    I really thought it was going to take off and be more exciting. The characters were shallow and undefined while at the same time being stereotypical. I'm glad I didn't pay much for it and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.


    What was most disappointing about Kyra Davis’s story?

    It never took off and got more exciting. It needed more depth of character and detail.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Don't know


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    I liked the main character. She was strong and independant. Also, I liked that they went to a sex toy trade show. It was a different thing to happen in a story.


    Any additional comments?

    Too many characters to keep track of

    Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, serving in the household of the enigmatic Commander and his bitter wife. She may go out once a day to markets whose signs are now pictures because women are not allowed to read. She must pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, for in a time of declining birthrates her value lies in her fertility, and failure means exile to the dangerously polluted Colonies. Offred can remember a time when she lived with her husband and daughter and had a job, before she lost even her own name....

    What was most disappointing about Margaret Atwood’s story?

    It was a depressing story about how women had been devalued in America and could not do anything. They were baby makers and that was it.


    Which character – as performed by Claire Danes – was your favorite?

    None


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    Yeah, I don't want to live that way.
