This was my first Atwood novel and it made me fall in love with this author! I love all of her other books (for the most part.. Surfacing was a little too out there for me). To me, this book was very similar to 1984, but instead of a government taking control of every aspect of citizens' lives, it's a religion. A thought-provoking read.
