The bad press that Christians receive is, though, I agree, becoming all too prevalent - it's all part and parcel of what is going on in the world.Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526499701297202858.post-19851057590596802892021-06-25T09:41:08.083-07:002021-06-25T09:41:08.083-07:00I did not read the book.

The only thing about the book I object to is the way Christians are portrayed. We are not like that at all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15006665915297250192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526499701297202858.post-26624557579205551972019-08-29T13:46:06.009-07:002019-08-29T13:46:06.009-07:00Definitely Aunt Lydia.

Wonder who they will be..... I'm hoping for Serena Joy, Aunt Lydia and Ofglen-Emily, because of course we know that she went to the Colonies, even though Offred didn't!Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526499701297202858.post-45928262446039962282019-08-29T11:18:01.269-07:002019-08-29T11:18:01.269-07:00Oh, Noelle, it's so good - are you in for a tr...Oh, Noelle, it's so good - are you in for a treat!!!Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526499701297202858.post-32857995518804073362019-08-28T14:03:21.779-07:002019-08-28T14:03:21.779-07:00I love the book.

I was a bit hesitant about watching the series but I think they've done really well with it and I love the way they’ve carried the story on after the book finishedK9-Dreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882829247049805585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526499701297202858.post-37710058238669101972019-08-27T05:18:56.477-07:002019-08-27T05:18:56.477-07:00I'm one of the few who have neither read the b...I'm one of the few who have neither read the book(s) nor seen the TV series.
