Suicide squad full script pdf 4 min read. Tuesday, February 26, The beginning until half way through was quite boring and if it hadn't been a required text for class I would've dropped it. On the other hand it was different and lacked the cliche main character that fights for freedom and justice, but then again that's the kind of character I like. I do recommend trying it for yourself as it wasn't a terrible read.

I loved the ending though. It was open ended leaving you able to create an ending that you would like to have happened. There was so much great hype about the television series that I was eager to read the book. Very interesting story. But I was greatly disappointed that the ending was full of holes.

The main character had to guard her every thought, yet the ending reveals the story is being told based on her diary. Even if she'd had writing materials, which she didn't, she'd never have dared write down her thoughts and risk the results of exposure. Big let down. Perfect last line to this book as I was left with so many questions at the end This book confused me. Given all of the hype around it, I was expecting much more from this book.

It was decent and I can completely understand how it would translate well into a mini-series or movie I was further confused by tourists coming into Gilead How could this have gone on for so long afterwards without a civil war of sorts breaking out. Without having more information of the total collapse of society and a little more longevity of what lead to the collapse, it was hard to buy into this tale.

If I could buy into the collapse of society and the development of Gilead to save the human race, there just wasn't enough information on how the Handmaids, the Aunts, etc were chosen, why they took healthy children away from their birth families and assigned the mothers of those children to other households for procreation Also, what happened to the women in the colonies, the "unbabies", etc.

There was a great core to this story, just not enough detail to support any of it so I was very disappointed in the end. I first read The Handmaid's Tale around the time it was published in If this is what is in store for us, count me out. My mind kept drifting to all the really entertaining stories out there, waiting to be read and enjoyed.

Why was I wasting precious time reading tripe? The beginning until half way through was quite boring and if it hadn't been a required text for class I would've dropped it.
