I found it scary..it made me think how..easily something like that could happen to women The author said she did not put anything into the book that had not already happened at some stage around the world, so if bits have already happened, all it takes is a perfect storm to bring it all together..

Its a really good watch, but yeah it freaked me out. A lot.

Haven’t watched the series yet but read it for my A Level English. The book is amazing (you should all give it a good read) so I can only presume the series is too.

The book is great. We love a good dystopian fiction
