Jim's Review
🐛
Atwood wrote this in 1985 and it keeps getting more relevant, which is frankly terrifying. Jim squirmed through every page — and not the good kind of squirming a worm usually enjoys. The slow reveal of how Gilead came to be is masterful storytelling. This book will burrow into your brain and set up permanent residence. Essential reading for any era.
