Review:
It's been a while since I read The Handmaid's Tale, but this seemed to be a pretty faithful adaptation of the book. The only part I could recall truly being left out was the bit from the book about the cat being abandoned. Oh, and I don't recall the graphic novel portion with the Japanese tourists walking around through Gilead society being in the book, but it's quite possible that happened and it just didn't stick with me in the midst of everything else.
The artwork worked well for the story (although not really for me personally) and made effective use of color. A couple parts were a little hard to follow, but for the most part flashbacks vs. scenes set in the present were made clear by differences in clothing.
All in all, I thought this was a good adaptation.
