Thank you! The audio sounds like it would be outstanding.

It’s worth it, but you’d be fine without reading Handmaids first.

I think so. I read Handmaids long ago enough that I can’t accurately compare them. This is is just the book we need now

I have a copy & will be starting it after my current read. It seems like you liked it better than the HT, true?

After your review, I definitely want to get to both soon.

I just finished listening to the audiobook and second everything you said. I highly recommend the audiobook. Aunt Lydia, Daisy, and Agnes are all read by three different narrators. They did a really good job.

I agree with you. The Testaments is a powerhouse, and I couldn’t put it down either. I looked up an online summary of The Handmaids Tale because it has been so long since I read the first book.
