I enjoyed this third and final volume in the MaddAddam series, and feel it is the best of the three books. In this book, we spend time with narrators Zeb, Toby, and an adorable Craker, who attaches himself to Toby. In all, this has been a unique piece of speculative fiction, with lots of interesting...
A friend of mine told me that if I'd liked the other two books in this series, this one wouldn't disappoint me. That was true. As usual, Atwood's writing flows almost flawlessly, her observations wry and insightful. Most of this book is "storytelling," leaning heavily on backstory. Most of the bac...
It is too soon to rate - although I've picked 4.5 for now. The trilogy overall, though, is an absolute five. A stunning vision; exceptional execution; provocative themes about greed and ethics, environmental degradation, out-of-control technology ... and maybe a shred of optimism for humanity, such ...
A great ending to a great story. I kinda regret not rereading the prior volumes as it's been a while and I had a hard time remembering things, particularly who the different characters were. A reread might be on the cards.The story in itself is rather slow-moving and retrospective but much more upbe...
The reader on this audio was quite good, but I was really glad when this book ended. Perhaps I had read the first two books in this series too long ago, and the brief review in the first few pages was simply not detailed enough for me. While I will admit the story is unbelievably creative, I will al...

Such a great ending to a very exciting trilogy. This story is about Zeb, Adam, Toby, and Blackbeard (my favorite). Also, Amanda, Ren, Swift Fox, and Jimmy-The-Snowman play pretty significant parts in the story as well. I liked that this book picked up right where the second book finished and continu...
The apparent exhaustion of the story prior to its conclusion was pretty disappointing. It is not the predictability and unbelievability of the denouement(s) that bothers me, but the listlessness and humorlessness with which they are offered. I was surprised by the increasing excitement with which ...
I've put off reviewing this one, because to talk about it feels like betrayal. I've invested a lot in this series, and I love Atwood fiercely, but this book was... fluffy. There. I've said it. This book is fluff, and not even very good fluff. It's astonishing that something so breezy and shall...
MaddAddam is the final installment in what has come to be known as the MaddAddam Trilogy. Margaret Atwood refers to it as a piece of speculative fiction because "...it does not include any technologies or biobeings that do not already exist, are under construction, or are not possible in theory." It...
