A plague has swept the world, and few people survive. One is Ren, a trapeze dancer/sex worker locked in quarantine at her strip club. The other is Ren's former teacher, Toby. Both spent years with the God's Gardeners, a cult focused on sustainable living that foresaw the plague, and so Ren and To...
I am having trouble rating this. Ms. Atwood is an automatic 5 star read and I absolutely LOVED Oryx & Crake. The Year of the Flood is a follow up to O & C, but if you were not really paying attention, you would have never guessed this book was a continuation until about 3/4th way through. As a stan...
I liked "Oryx and Crake" much better. Parts of this book are brilliant and parts of it are just plain awful in my opinion. It was quite a slog for me at times. I almost gave up more than once. Still, I do like Atwood's writing - most of the time.

But, I do admit that if there have to be oth...
For me, anything by Atwood is hard to put down - I stayed up way too late reading this. I re-read Oryx and Crake first, since it had been a few years since I read that and I wanted to read them one right after another. I really enjoyed reading about so many of the same characters from a different ...
