Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. 3.5. Wonderfully outrageous and very well-executed feminist SF - if you imagine The Handmaid's Tale with a healthy dose of intersectional feminism and a sense of humor, adapted into an cult 80s film, you begin to approximate Bitch Planet. The story and characters have yet to totally engage me, but I am hoping for great things from this series. ( ) It's tricky to rate this one because after 5 issues the main plot hasn't gotten going yet. the concept is strong though and the whole idea of compliance makes me feel wrong all over. It makes me angry and afraid (much like Handmaid's tale did!). I would be intrigued to read more of it crosses my path but I'm not desperate enough to seek it out... mostly because the imagined world is one to scary for me to want to spend much time in! no reviews | add a review
In a future just a few years down the road in the wrong direction, a woman's failure to comply with her patriarchal overlords will result in exile to the meanest penal planet in the galaxy. When the newest crop of fresh femmes arrive, can they work together to stay alive or will hidden agendas, crooked guards, and the deadliest sport on (or off!) Earth take them to their maker?
