Considering how much of a Canadian literary treasure Ms. Atwood is and how much her works have been lauded/recommended, I don't really know how I managed to skip her works as part of some lit course req in school, but I actually did. So yes, this is a first Atwood read for me *gasp*...Here's a story...
This was actually my introduction to Margaret Atwood. Judging from this story, my worldview is very much opposed to Atwood's, and certain elements scraped at my sensibilities at times in this tale of extreme climate change and EVIL corporations, and several aspects of her world even aside from that ...
(Reposting from Goodreads just because) This book is horrifying. No, I'm not saying it's bad. The writting couldn't be better. The world building? Amazing. The characters?

Peter kept asking me t...
My review: 4.5 of 5 starsSource: Library CheckoutI am astounded at how fascinating this was.The story opens with Snowman, a hermit of sorts, struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic society that has experienced an originally unknown catastrophic event. Snowman is seemingly the last human left on ...
Novels that give us the details of a post-apocalypse normally don't give us a great and detailed leading up to the destruction, and for this I really enjoyed this.
