I have never read a book quite like yours. Although I have read only one of your works, it was enough to give me a deep respect for your visions and writing. It gave me a sense of helplessness, and made me appreciate all that I have. Usually, I read a book, finish, put it down, and go on with my life. This novel made me pause and reflect on the message it was trying to send.
People often complain about little things, which are really unimportant in the long run.
You showed me that I should be thankful for what I have. I spend so much time fretting about what I don't have, that I don't take time to give thanks for all the good things in my life. In a world like that of The Handmaid's Tale we would not be human. The thought is so devastating. I can't even explain how awful that would be.
