When I am reading this book, I feel like I am actually in her head. The past is mixed with the present and I have to reread it to double check what it is. I also noticed that there are quotations after some of the things people say but other times there isn't.
I wonder what really happened to have a society like that. The book hints that it was war/crime, but it still doesn't make sense. It doesn't seem like any of them wants to be there, and it is obvious that everyone in the world doesn't live like that. There are tourists visiting and the TV has censored channels.
I feel sorry for the handmaid because it seems really boring. She examines her room for fun and she can only go out once a day and she has to have a partner with her. And no one seems to truly care for her, she is just a living tool to produce babies.
I also wonder what does the commander do? It doesn't seem like he is at the house a lot. Does he have a job?
