There are people in the world, millions of them, whose brains and tastes are thoroughly corrupted by their partner. Having watched an entire season of the horrendous show "Sex And The City" to better understand one girl, and having subsequently adopted music tastes that didn't really suit me for the sake of another, I believe I subsequently resolved in an unconscious way not to do this again. I don't like things because Karen does or because she wants me to, though this may convince me to at least try them. I like them because I like them. I think she does the same thing, and I think this is a minor cornerstone to the success of us.
Did you care about that? No? Ok, I'll talk about "Handmaid" now. This book was one of the best dystopias I've read, because I realized when I finished it that there are in reality societies NOW that function this way, and people in them who would foist them on the entire world if they had their way.

A great work of feminism, a great work of science fiction, and a great work of literature. I loved the ending, and my only complain about the book is that it was too short and/or rushed. I wanted more, and I think it could have stood a little more length. That says good things about the quality though. Recommended!
