I truly wanted to like this book. Honestly, I already had the next ones on my kindle and everything, but I definitively will not be reading the rest of the series. The premise of the book seemed so interesting, I never could have guessed how bored it was all going to be. I may be in the minority,...
I wonder if all Margaret Atwood's books are like this one? Having read "Oryx and Crake" and "The Handmaid's Tale," I am curious now how many other ways of horrifying tales she has up her sleeve. "Oryx and Crake" is a dystopian (or as Atwood calls it herself, a speculative fiction) novel set in a fut...
26/12 - I found this a little bit tiresome to read for at least half the book. It wasn't until we started to see what had happened to bring about the apocalypse that I really got interested. And then Atwood finishes it just as a really exciting and mystery-revealing scene was about to happen, a bi...
My college roommate urged me to read this series, and I tried... Lord, how I tried. I spent three weeks on bed rest at the end of my pregnancy, then my entire maternity leave, then most of the summer trying to get through Oryx and Crake (book one), to say nothing of the rest of the trilogy. While I ...
A birthday present in 2012, it's taken me a while to get around to reading this. I've been enjoying the Atwood Positron series of short stories instead and figured I'd leave this one on the shelf for a while, but eventually all books must come down off the shelf and be read. Seeing the third book in...
Margaret Atwood's work is always provocative and this book is no exception. Narrated by a character named Snowman who may be the last human on earth, we read his story. Set in a future where giant corporations genetic research has led to species splicing and miracle cures seem to the order of the d...
I was asked while mid novel to describe what this book is about. Now that I'm finished there still isn't really a good way to describe this book. Atwood doesn't write simple novels. If this was a simple novel I would say it is about the folly and greed of man bringing about humankind's downfall. ...
It's weird how much you can love one author. In your mind, they're miles beyond anything you've ever read, and for me, this is how I view Margaret Atwood. Albeit, The Handmaid's Tale is still my favourite novel of hers, but Oryx and Crake is a close second.At first, I wasn't 100% keen on it. My view...
