For me the MaddAddam trilogy doesn't feel like a real trilogy in a sense that each novel continues the story of the previous one. The second book, The Year of The Flood, doesn't pick up where first book Oryx and Crake left off but instead tells the same story during the same timeline, only from the ...
No action. No drama. No tension. No likable characters. The story is not going anywhere or letting us in to any secret at all. What is the point? I really don't see the point. The imaginary of the story is fine. And the dumbing down for the new humanoids storytelling is cute in the fir...
This review (though not this rating) is for the trilogy as a whole.I liked the first book best, and the third one least. A lot of this was because the third book was written from the point of view of the character I connected with the least: Toby. Compared to Jimmy/Snowman in the first book, and Ren...
I really do not understand why "MaddAddam" was written. This does not mean I did not like the book, but I have to wonder why this book was written. I can only conclude Ms Atwood likes the characters and needed some closure. The events in "MaddAddam" take place after the end of "Oryx & Crate" and "...
"But hatred and viciousness are addictive. You can get high on them. Once you've had a little, you start shaking if you don't get more." When Oryx & Crake was first published, I could not put it down. It was my first Atwood, none of my friends knew about her (I was still at uni at the time) and pe...
This was such a beautiful wrap up to this trilogy. It was far less depressing that the first 2 books, which is good because I really don't know if I could have dealt with this series being a total bummer. God this series, it is so good I'm going to be thinking about it for a long time. I loved getti...
This is one of those books that made me sit in silence for a few minutes after finishing it. So much happens at the end that it takes a while to process everything. Some of my favorite characters didn’t survive, which makes the processing even harder.Most of MaddAddam is narrated by Toby and focuses...
Ultimo libro del 2014!Pre-reseña: Me deprimió la tarde, estuve inmersa en él casi sin respirar por la emoción. Mientras alrededor la familia se preparaba para el año nuevo (y mi hijo rompía varias cosas, aprovechando mi distracción en los Maddaddamites) yo leía sin parar: de la tablet al celular, de...
MaddAddam is the final book of the MaddAddam trilogy. Going into this, I knew there was a chance that it wouldn’t be as good as the previous two books, especially since I really loved them. That’s the problem with trilogies, I suppose. It’s sometimes hard to have the third part be completely satisfy...
MaddAddam at its best is a story about storytelling. Toby from the previous book takes over Snowman's role as storyteller to the genetically engineered new humans called the Crakers. She tells them stories about Zeb, the leader of the MaddAddamites. We readers get Toby's mythologized versions of Zeb...
