"Margaret Atwood's best-loved novel has taken the world by storm again. Riding high on bestseller lists for months and the basis for Hulu's Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning smash hit series, The Handmaid's Tale is everywhere--and it's primed for a stunning new graphic novel adaptation. The story is iconic: In the Republic of Gilead, a Handmaid named Offred lives in the home of the Commander, to the purpose that she become pregnant with his child. Stripped of her most basic freedoms, (work, property, her own name), Offred remembers a different time, not so long ago, when she was valuable for more than her viable ovaries, when she was mother to a daughter she could keep, and when she and her husband lived and loved as equals. Darkly prescient, scathingly sarcastic, and eminently frightening, The Handmaid's Tale has only gained relevance since it was originally published, and remains one of the most powerful, widely read stories of our times. This illustrated edition is a must-have for Atwood's growing legions of fans"--… (más)

The most beautiful illustrations and color palette! I’ve made up my mind and prefer visual iterations of the Handmaid’s Tale over the novel.

I don't know how much it is because I don't read many graphic novels, but I feel like you might struggle to follow this if you aren't familiar with the story. I'm vaguely familiar with the plot but still felt a little lost at times. That being said, the art is absolutely beautiful and I enjoyed the different colour choices for different times and themes.

I am enjoying this trend of classic literature being adapted into graphic novels, as it is a way to revisit works that I enjoyed when I was younger, without committing the time to an entire narrative book. The Handmaid's Tale is obviously enjoying a renaissance at the moment, though I read it originally when I was in high school, waaaay back in the '80s. I remember it as being disturbing, and dystopian fiction isn't really my go-to genre, but this graphic crossed my desk so I started flipping through it, and before long I was hooked. It is an unforgettable story, though over the course of 30 years, details had gone by the wayside. It all came back to me through the vivid illustrations of this lovely volume. What really struck me was that unlike many (maybe most) dystopian novels, in this book the dystopia is actually unfolding. The characters are living the change from a free democratic society to a brutal authoritarian regime, that democracy remembered in flashbacks even as their freedom is strangled, and in some cases, welcomed. The self-awareness is a revelation really. I wasn't planning on reading The Testaments, Atwood's follow-up to Handmaid, but maybe I'll pick it up. She is, after all, a master of the genre. This adaptation is a credit to that mastery. ( )

(I am using this book for the "A Graphic Novel" category of Extreme Book Nerd.)

Whew. This was INTENSE. I did not know that this book existed until recently; my boss found it on the shelf. I mean, the story of "The Handmaid's Tale" is familiar to many people, but to see it come alive in a graphic novel form.....wow.

What the hardest thing about "The Handmaid's Tale" is is that it feels too....real. It is why I have not watched the Hulu adaptation; the visuals make the Offred's story all to visual and raw. It scares me that we have similarities to Gilead. I hate how there are Christians who are judgmental and two-faced like the Commander.

Still though, I could not put the book down. It's been a while since I have read the source novel but this adaptation holds its own. ( )

An absolutely beautiful rendition of the story. The artwork is fantastic! I like how it kept most of the story without having to actually have all the text in it as a lot of it could be represented through images. A wonderful read for those who don't have time to read the original novel but would like to experience the story. Takes a maximum of an hour to read on a quiet day. ( )
