Get the audio book - amazing version with the religious sect's sermons acted out and hymns sung. Really comes to life.
Seconda parte della trilogia MaddAdam.
Molto più complessa e lunga della prima. In questo secondo romanzo viviamo il pre e post apocalisse dal
Punto di vista delle città dei poveri anziché quello privilegiato del primo romanzo, dove tutti i personaggi lentamente ( molto lentamente) si incastrano con la narrazione deL primo romanzo.
Probabilmente molto più affascinante del primo romanzo ma un pelo troppo lento nella prima parte.
La Atwood sempre incredibile nel ricreare gli universi distopici dei suoi romanzi.

Another incredibly disturbing installment in a series that scares the shit out of me. (Literally - I thought that some of the more graphic scenes in the novel were making me feel sick, but it turned out I just had food poisoning.)
I have similar opinions on this one as I do Oryx and Crake. It loses points for those annoying-ass God's Gardener hymns (they are just extremely not good), but it gains those points back for having women protagonists with deep interiority. Again, trigger warnings for everything, and again, the way sexuality is portrayed is very ominous and disturbing, in a way that I'm not sure reflects reality outside the context of someone who's suffered severe trauma. Also quite heteronormative. That said, again, a very good book from a narrative standpoint, and an interesting look at the rest of the world that was introduced in Oryx and Crake.

This is set during the same time as Oryx and Crake just a different perspective. The God's Gardeners are awaiting the waterless flood. They don't believe in eating meat, but do believe in preparing for something that will wipe out mankind as we know it. The book looks back to the time before the waterless flood and then the after. The book is told from the perspectives of two women that had been in the Gardeners, but now are out in the exfernal world. I really loved this book. I thought it helped explain how people outside of the world of Oryx and Crake survived. I also liked how the book came together and made you understand more than you did from just Oryx and Crake.
