"Please don't sing!". This is the best part of the trilogy, but the differences are small. When the first part was female and the second one male, part three is craker. Or pigoon. The world is not ending, something new is emerging. MaddAddam is a book about how spirituality is a part of conscience. Believing comes naturally. If they cannot sing, they are not intelligent.
As much as I liked the writing and the concept, I also have to admit, that the pacing was uneven for me. It's as if Atwood's work was bent to fit into Campbell's story structure by sheer force. "Margaret, you do need a showdown. You need a final confrontation with the bad guys."
