Love that book! Agree the film was crap though. Wasted opportunity.

Can anyone join the bookclub? I would love that too. Noone I know has read it.

Oh I'd love bookclub about this - an excuse to read it again

someone said on a thread about it on here once (and I can't remember their source) that Atwood has said that all the practices she described in the book have an equivalent somewhere in the world at some point in history.

It is a fab book. I just reread it for the third or fourth time and still loved it. There is such a lot to discuss in it.

Hey maybe we should have it as a book club book?

Read it for A-Level & loved it. Don't bother with the film, it's rubbish.
