Dear Ms. Atwood,In the unlikely event that you are reading this I want you to know that all is forgiven."Whatchutalkinbout?" I hear you say, or perhaps I don't because it is fairly common knowledge that Margaret Atwood does not consider her sf books "science fiction", "speculative fiction" she allow...
'Oryx And Crake' is a very clever dystopia, focusing on the up- and downsides of chaos and the human system as a whole. The central point of the whole debate in this book is the opposition of how animals live as opposed to the human way of life. The animals in this book are severely genetically muta...
Oryx is the best character I’ve ever read. I find myself absolutely fascinated with her. Her personality, her past, it was all so murky and elusive, and yet I can’t help feeling like she was truly someone special. Someone that, if things had gone differently, could have made the world a much brighte...
The blurb says Oryx and Crake is a love story. I must be missing something!There's nothing really romantic about this story, it's a novel that questions society's ethics and morals. Dystopian novels always make me feel a bit paranoid, this one more so because we actually have the technologies Atwood...
See the full review on my blogThis book is a dystopian like no other that I have read, if I thought ‘Shades of Grey’ was different, this is on a whole new level of intensity.

The concepts are very real to our present, and there isn't anything in here that seems out of this world of illogical. Growing pigs aka pigloons with multiple organs to be harvested for humans? Viewing execut...
Let me start with the fact that I like Margaret Atwood and that I had a friend recommend Year of the Flood, but when I found out it was the second book in the series, I decided to read this first. So, what that means is that this is really probably a 3 star book (because it was not much of a book),...
Story of a not-so-distant future where genetic engineering is a national sport, it's apocalypse and a strange new race's life afterwards, all through the eyes of our protagonist, Snowman.Oryx and Crake is a very enjoyable book. The society's differences are presented nicely, how the gene manipulatio...
This book was captivating and disturbing in equal measure. It was like watching a horrific train wreck unfold, I couldn't stop reading even though it was going downhill. The protagonist is in a wasteland of his former life - of the former planet! The book description depicts it as a twisted love sto...
