I love Margaret Atwood. I think this trilogy is well done. However... I don't love it. I want to, but I don't.It's mainly an aesthetic thing, I think. Perhaps a bit of my not finding quite the same things funny that Atwood does. This book begins with a very helpful brief summary of the previous two ...

I ended up liking this one more than I thought I would, since the first few parts were really slow and I couldn't remember anything about Year of the Flood so I was a little lost.

Just finished. Wowza. If you have read Oryx and Crake and The Year of the Flood, I think you will definitely want to read this one. (And if you haven't, I recommend all three of them.)

Too much daytime drama? It's the marriage book of the series? Series endings are never fun?I agree with all of these observations, but Atwood brought it home with Blackbeard and the Crakers. The past two books I was rolling my eyes as the Crakers waved their blue genitalia around, but now I'm feelin...

"What a joy it is to see Margaret Atwood taking such delicious pleasure in the end of the world. And it is nothing but flowers."- ANDREW SEAN GREER (NY Times Book Review)

Josh talked about Maddaddam on the Unpr!ntable podcast. Listen and find out what he thought of it. I liked the first two books: Oryx and Crake and The Year of the Flood. My main issue with Margaret Atwood is her view that science fiction is all about monsters and space craft. Also in this epis...
