i know the reveal was obvious because i am an adult and it is aimed at a younger audience but also …. feels so good to be right

Forgot to update that I’m reading this as my advent book this year, so I started on the 1st and will finish on the 24th. Still better than a lot of progress I’ve made on other books this year … probably not hitting my goal in the next uh … 2 weeks oops

to think it's been at minimum three years since gilead was started ... yet she talks about it as if it's been a decade at least. jesus.

I've realised what it is I don't like about these sorts of books ... they've all tell, not show. It gets boring after a while yk ? like rushed worldbuilding.

stephen king: how did they work out richard bachman was me??
well buddy, the fact that a chunk of this takes place in maine, and you literally name-dropped DERRY of all towns probably didn’t help obfuscate your identity much …

the thing is … i could totally see this sort of entertainment becoming a thing. or a thing AGAIN, i suppose.
