AT (1676 KP) rated The Testaments (The Handmaid's Tale #2) in Books
Sep 29, 2019
I really enjoyed reading The Testaments. Margaret Atwood wrote it in the same style as The Handmaid's Tale, as it was the long-awaited sequel, however, it really had a unique voice. While it followed the general idea of what happened during The Handmaid's Tale, it was a story of other women voicing their stories 15 years later. If you are on the fence about whether or not to spend the time reading The Testaments, yes, take the time. It's a 415 page book, but it's a very smooth read that definitely makes it seem shorter. I loved finally being able to read Margaret Atwood's expansion on this story.

This is the first book in this series by this author. This story will suck you in from the first page and keep you hooked till the very last page. This book can be read as a stand alone read. Amazing characters you will fall in love with as you read. This author has a fab writing style which is very smooth, which makes reading this story very effortless. I can't wait to read more from this author n the future.
Highly recommended

This is a collection of 17 near death experiences which are well written and engaging. Each chapter is illustrated at the start by showing us the body part which nearly caused the death of O'Farrell, I thought this was a nice touch. Sometimes I fumbled a bit whilst reading through this book and ultimately got a bit jumbled in places too. I think the confusion would of been solved if the incidences were written in chronological order. It felt a bit too all over the place rather than a good, smooth read.

Smooth and easy reading. The mystery was interesting but there weren't many viable suspects so it was pretty obvious. However the information on the Iditarod was fascinating and plentiful. It seems very well researched in that regard, and I'd venture a guess that if there are any mistakes, they're minor. I really liked the author's writing style and I can see how she's been compared to Nevada Barr (who's fantastic in my opinion). While I'm not sold on the series as a whole yet, I will definitely pick up the next one to see how it develops.

This was definitely a smooth read - I read it mainly so I could see the movie and I'm pumped about movie though I'm pretty sure it wont be the same. I had issues with some of the context - I get Rihannon had issues with things but she was a rude rudeeeeeeee one at some parts. And the part before the very end was great and sweet, though I was a bit upset by the end, ABRUPT much - then I saw it was a series - I have no intention of reading book 2 but I am excited for book 3 to come out.

DNF @ 32%
I struggled with this from the start. I guess i thought it would be a modern sort of kindnap-and-survive-with-a-little-help-from-your-friends, not some sort of old-fashioned fantasy. The Fae are not my favourite thing to read about--unless you're Trent Kalamack and co :D.
Add in the fact that it wasn't a smooth style but was rather stilted and very awkward reading. It was taking too long to get interesting and i just didn't even really care anymore by the 32% mark.
Not for me at all.

An eclectic mix of crimes
Basically what it says on the cover. A mix of different crimes that have been committed over the years some I haven't even heard of. In some parts it seemed like it was a rush to get to the end of the information and in others although it was in someway related to what was written it just slightly seemed to go off track which to me made it a bit awkward for smooth reading.
A very factual book and a lot of research has been done for the information. 4/5
