A review by thejenhiller
Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood

4.0

I adore The Handmaid’s Tale and Alias Grace, This one was a little strange — okay a lot strange — but I ended up really liking it. Atwood is a genius at creating imagined worlds and crafting layered characters navigating a complex plot. It takes an attentive and patient reader; I didn’t quite know what I was reading until the author slowly revealed some necessary details. Atwood’s usual word play and perfect control of language are all there, making it a wordsmith’s delight.
