5.0

Absolutely fantastic, and easily one of my favorite dystopian novels ever! I love how it’s centered around Glenn/Crake’s evolution, and his eventual genocide of the human race and how he justified it, even from the perception of Jimmy/Snowman. Also, fair warning that it’s quite intense in terms of its references to suicide and ESPECIALLY child pornography, so please watch out for that if you plan to read this one.
