A review by filisia
Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood

Did not finish book. Stopped at 35%.
Solely relies on settings, overtly sexual scenes involving minors in small parts, and whatever we learn about the characters remains superficial even as we move through flashbacks (that don’t bridge any gaps in our initial discoveries of the state of their world and how it came to be). Lots of drawn out details of memories that never add anything by way of character development/understanding or to the plot or setting. I listened to the audio book and even 4 hours in it was tough to stay engaged.
