It's in pretty good condition, just a little crease down the front cover.

Kind of book that will give you a spook when you think about American fundamentalism.

You know, there are places online where you can read lots of product reviews

Thanks. I chose this medium.

A good tale, which one can only hope does not become oddly prophetic...

Loved it! Read it in college. At the time, it was a far-fetched dystopia, but in recent years some of it has actually come to pass.

Loved it

I have no strong feelings either way. I have also never heard of it.

Anti-male
ALittleHurricane
Because of the way the dystopia is placed as women are commodities and men have valued positions?
theelvesoflothlorien
Yes.

I'm only on page 39 but it seems men get pretty shitty outcomes too. Notably death.

It's well-written and a captivating story, but so heavily laden with male-hating feminism I could barely get through it.

Good. One of several good cautionary tales about statism and authoritarianism. As for Atwood, I like this more than "Oryx and Crake"

I've not read this, but read Oryx & Crake, & Year of the Flood (but not MaddAddam). What didn't you like about O&C?
AcidExfoliate
Oh, no, I LIKED it, a great deal. I just like HMT better
ngvt
Ah. I've gotta read this (and MaddAddam - I got divorced in Feb and she took the copy, so off to the library I go...). Good data point, thx!

Making mental note of exploring these titles as well.
