The Handmaid’S Tale … Information For Anyone Who’S Interested
171 Answers
If anyone is, like me, itching to read the book but reluctant to do so because they don’t want to spoil the television series for themselves ….. good news. I am reliably informed that the book covers only the first series …. so we won’t know the real ending until we’ve watched the complete production. Buying the book as we speak!!

ethandron, gripping is the word! I watch it, I'm utterly appalled by the storyline - I've never seen anything that comes close to it - but I never want the episodes to end. I so want to know what she's (they) are going to do. I think I'd watch the lot in a marathon session if I could. I'm totally hooked!
I watched the first series in a 'binge' could not stop watching. The second series is just as good. I cannot fault it in any way. Its one of the best things on TV for a while. I get myself comfortable on a Sunday night and before I know it its over, I don't want it to be over lol! glad another series is coming along.
Nor me, Ladybirder - but there's no accounting for folks - as 'they' say. ;o)
It occurred to me that Nick the chauffeur knew how to complete those documents to enable Serena to issue orders (that she shouldn't have been issuing) when the Commander was in hospital and so Nick could be very useful if Serena and Offred join ranks. Also he spoke very freely to that other top man (can't remember his name). I think there's more to Nick than meets the eye.
I've now got the book on my kindle. I know what tonight's reading will be. :o)

Aunt Lydia fascinates me as a character as does Serena Joy. Nicks new wife Eden is one to watch too.
This is an interesting interview with the Author Margaret Atwood

I too agree that Nick's wife is one to watch, but I get the impression she could be the fly in the ointment rather than a rebel. I might be wrong.
Thanks for the link AuntLydia. (Saying your user name gives me the chills!).
I'd heard of the movie and checked Amazon. It stars Natasha Richardson and Faye Dunaway, and can be bought for just under £10.
I think we have to bear in mind that since it's an adaptation of the book, it will only take us to the end of series one though.

Perhaps so. Perhaps he countered Naomi’s assertion that she was an unknown being by listing some of her oft-repeated prejudices, and asserting that anyone expressing such views in a public forum like this couldn’t expect to be anonymous.
The only route to anonymity is to keep your views to yourself, he might have added.
Ad hominem, but only in reply to Naomi making a hominem of herself.
