Hey, to each their own. :) It's still one of my favorite books, and I actually didn't really like the movie. XD I liked the seeming 'slowness' because to me it painted a very vivid picture of just how much life had changed in such a short span of time for her, and focused on the minor things that really add up to a lot, even little things like not having any lotion because of just how much she'd taken for granted before the dramatic shift in everything.

I liked the naming, and with Offred's, the play on words. Of Fred or off red. :)
