Dana Mayer has literally taken over the and destroyed the patriarchy and installed instead the matriarchy.
The world is do,I aged in every way by women, men are reduced to basically servants or eunuchs and definitely according to her concept lower class citizens.
But Art is different, he is her pet, there are feelings on both sides but when he goes against the system and a faded pop star called Victoria Bain finds out then what can Dana do?
How can she bend the rules for her "lapdog" when any other man would be severely punished for insurrection and crimes against the matriarchy and in particular against Dana herself.
I loved the Handmaid's tale and this was dubbed as being in the vein of it but I have mixed feelings on it, it had a great concept but at times it dragged, then towards the end with Art's attempts to bring down the matriarchy it was very exciting but I feel the end was a little too hurried and I expected more
Plus I hated the goldfish scene, how the hell did that aid the story???
Not a fan of animal cruelty in any way shape or form.
Ultimately it was a good read but it had its flaws and was let down by a kind of stop dead ending when I really didn't expect that, kind of a cop out.
