The end of the book left me wanting to scream. Not knowing what happened to the main characters, or really what happened to bring down the regime that started this in the first place...in the world we live in, that is eerily starting to feel like Gilead, that might be good information to have.



(view spoiler)[I would have liked to know more about what happened to any Handmaids that had a healthy baby, as I assume there must have been some. Did they stay with the same Commander? Did they get moved on again like the others? Did they get made Aunts? And were they expected to have a certain number of children?
And speaking of Aunts: what qualified the original Aunts? What is the criteria for becoming an Aunt vs becoming a Martha - is is simply a matter of choice? Or is there some kind of test? (hide spoiler)]
