2.0
Loved the first two books, but this one was extremely disappointing.
I feel like most of the mysteries were not resolved, the most interesting characters are the least explored (like Adam One, or Crake) not even indirectly, and most of the important events are retold afterwards instead of written at the moment of the action. That takes you out of the scene and makes it fall extremely flat.
So disappointed that this is the conclusion of the series.
