I read this book as a fan of the Hulu series of the same name, and I felt it was a good supplement to the series. The author jumps back and forth between present and past quite a bit, but I was able to follow it just fine. Since I hadn't read it previously I can't say for sure, but I can see the potential to initially be confused by this writing style without prior exposure to the storyline. The book contains much more narrative and description than dialog, and typically this is not my preference. Atwood does it very well, though, and it didn't bother me at all. I thought the book was very well written, with a poetic feel, and I honestly didn't want to put it down.
