I read this book for two reasons: 
 1. I had a feeling it would be relevant with what's happening in the States right now. 
 2. I saw the trailer for the tv adaptation and I was curious. 
 Needless to say, this book disturbed me and scared the crap out of me. There's a lot of elements in it that could easily happen in the future (for Christ's sake, Trump's administration is doing a great job so far). The story was well crafted and Atwood's writing style was beautiful and engaging. 
 It makes you think about the good and the worse of society and, at times, it makes you question your morales. 
 In the end, this book deserves the title of modern classic. 10/10 highly recommend.
