It would have been chilling enough as just a story - but, in light of the current political milieu, it's all the more harrowing.

Let's hope people get it.

I'm re-reading the book now. It's been at least 20 years since I read it, Atwood is one of my favorite authors and this is one of her best. By the way, if you have Amazon Prime it's free to download with their new prime reading program.

I'm looking forward to this as well... Should be interesting...

Our teacher choose it for English in high school and it took me years to appreciate what I had read, it might be time to revisit (thanks to current events, it's a little too relevant). I am not sure AP has the same deals here, is it a US thing?

It may be, they just started the Prime Reading program which allows you to download books and mags, its like a library. You are limited to 10 I think, then you have to return them to get others... and it is only digital copies... you may have it as well but with different options? Not sure. If you go to the books page it should say read free if your Prime member... if you have it there.
