ManyRoads reviewed Els Testaments by Margaret Atwood (Biblioteca mínima, #217)
Review of 'Els Testaments' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I did not find this sequel quite as good as good as the Handmaid's Tale #1. That not withstanding, this is still an very good story/ read.
This particular tale appears to bring down the curtain on the Theocracy (Gilead) that 'was' once the United States. The author seems obviously (to my mind) influenced by recent world events. The tale quite clearly reflects the logical outcomes of right-wing philosophies and actions in the US.
Do not read either of the Handmaid Tale books if you are looking for enjoyment. Read them if you want to ponder the effects of extremism.
