Query: Why I did not enjoy The Handmaid's Tale

I am an average reader. I read The Handmaid's Tale as a school project. I found it to be poorly written and incredibly boring. The book doesn't have much of a plot, the character development is amazingly poor, and the author's use of sensationalism was really quite revolting. The author seems to say, "This is what will happen if we let those damn Republicans in office!!" Personally, I don't mind hearing the message once or twice, but it is repeated over and over throughout the 400 pages of this horrible book. I can see how a leftist feminist might enjoy this book, but I don't think it is possible for anyone else (including the entire male gender) to enjoy this book.
