    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?

    Blah blah blah it just seemed to go on and on about the same points over and over. I love to read as well as listen to books, but this one was so annoying with the constant repetitive description...it was too much. I wanted to just give up and quit but kept thinking it would get better....sadly, it didn't. This is the first time I have been compelled to write a book review...but feel strongly that maybe I can save some other poor soul from wasting all those hours I did when I could have been listening to a GREAT book instead of this dud!
