I finally managed to finish this and I really liked it. Usually, I'd rather read the book before watching the movie adaptation, but the Oscars made me change the order with this one and it may have affected a bit my opinion on the novel. I expected to like it more, but enjoyed it and liked the writing.
(Btw, since I loved the film and its aesthetic, I made a rare exception and bought this edition.)

Re-reading this book was one of the best decisions ever. I was afraid I wouldn't like it as much as before, but I enjoyed it much more.
Atwood is brilliant. Her prose is flawless and the story is equally engrossing and infuriating. Being older helped me appreciate the story in a deeper way.
I combined the paperback and audiobook versions. Clare Danes is a great narrator.
