This book was a wild ride from start to finish, and I honestly do not know how to feel about it. When I first read what it was about I thought it would an extravagant book, and I felt some extremist feminist ideals that I was not sure I was going to enjoy. I genuinely did not think the book would go in the direction it went, with such a crazy society and twisted plots. If you ask me what happened in this book I wouldn't know what to tell you, except for these three scenes that are stuck in my head: the first one is the overly detailed description of why the sentence "no eggs for me please" is sexist in the society presented in the book, the blood chambers in old churches where women just let their period flow freely (why??), and the torture of the main male characters ( waaay over the top and weird.) Also the whole concept of keeping men in a "working camp" and keeping the "pretty" ones as a form of pet, resembles too much a particular event in history that was very, very horrible.
At least the cover design was really great.
