Atwood is a great writer, and if you have ever read “The Handmaid’s Tale” (which I highly recommend) you may want to give this one a try - but I don’t like it as much as I expected to, even though I am 201 pages in. I admittedly took a fairly long break from reading this one (this is my first time reading it in fifteen days - I had started reading “Kindred” which I completed, and then started reading “Lolita.”) I took a break from “The Testaments” in spite of how much I loved its predecessor “The Handmaid’s Tale” because, if I am being quite honest here, something about “The Testaments” just doesn’t work for me. I am actually going to talk about a different book that I got back to reading tonight - “The Testaments” by Margaret Atwood. ![]()
