While this book frequently references real Martha's Vineyard locations, it is unnecessarily violent as it tries to present itself as a murder mystery.

I had bought this at Goodwill after seeing it everywhere and hadn’t gotten around to reading it. When I heard it was going to be a TV show, I rushed to read it so I could watch the show. I had high hopes but it wasn’t at all what I was expecting. I didn’t love the characters which made it hard to get super into. I’m glad I read it and I’m going to watch the show still, the book just wasn’t what I was expecting.

This is the first in the series that I read. Usually, I like to read from the beginning, but I was able to enjoy this immensely. I love period books with characters who are feminist and this author described these two sisters well - strong, supporting each other, and not married! Wow! They go around helping others. We need more books like this.

I really liked it but it was a bit boring at times but my favorite was being able to see how ivy reacted to sunny who was a former protagonist

This book was not my thing. There wasn’t a lot going on, it wasn’t very long, and it just wasn’t something I enjoyed.

Atwood writes beautifully with very specific attention to the littlest of details in her character. She does not let the reader forget the intricacies of the narrator, which is so essential in reminding us of her humanity in a world where she is treated as less than human. The flow of the book might seem unnatural since its not linear, but the flashbacks to Offred's time before she was taken as a handmaid are interspersed throughout the novel in a way that allows you as the reader to understand her losing her grip on reality and the person she once was. We can better understand her struggle of maintaining the woman she once was in this way. Overall the language of the book was engaging and gorgeous in its description and attention to narrative feeling.

I love twilight so much!! I love the whole series and the movies!! In my opinion the books are way better than the movies due to detail, but I absolutely love the movies too!! But this book review is about the first book! The first book is very good and it explains how the two main characters (Bella, Edward) fall in love!! This story teaches a lot about love and while keeping it interesting, mysterious, and dark. With LOTS of fantasy too!!

This book is really funny and amazing! It’s about a couple of high schoolers who develop super powers and try to save the world. There is a tiny bit of romance but it doesn’t really get too annoying for those who don’t love romance like me. It’s a fun read and I really enjoyed listening to it. I highly recommend this book!

This book is always amazing. I love how neatly the facts about Greek mythology is woven into the story! Just from reading it I have somehow become the Greek mythology expert in the family. Another on of my favorite parts if’s the chapter names like “ I become supreme lord of the bathroom” and “ We learn the truth, sort of” there so funny compared to other authors chapter titles are so creative ( that was sarcasm) 1,2,3,4. Of course just the book itself is awesome the way that Rick Riorden writes, he writes with so much emotion and internal feeling like when Percy’s mother “died” fighting the Minotaur.

I wouldn’t say historical fiction is a preferred genre of mine to read, but after many suggestions, I borrowed this book from a friend. I’m so glad I finally read it and I want to recommend it to everyone! It is engaging, the characters are lovable, and the story is both heart wrenching and hopefully at the same time! I absolutely recommend this book to any and everyone!
