Negative Positive
Title: one of the most important books of the last centry
Review: This is one of the most important novels of the 20th century. Atwood has captured what happens when people of good conscience and liberal views do not safeguard or battle for their positions. Zealotry wins in such cases. There are many novels that talk about the price of freedom being eternal vigilance. This novel graphically and frighteningly shows us the result of not heeding this simple message. It is not a very far step from the current practices of many countries to the society of Gilead, and unfortunately there are many people who would regard the society described as a utopia, not a dystopia.
Is the review positive or negative?
