I have read other books by Margaret Atwood—
The Blind Assassin and
The Handmaiden's Tale—and liked them, so when this book was recommended in a Facebook discussion, I decided to give it a try. Turns out there is a trilogy, and now I'm reading Book 2. I downloaded the ebook version of
Oryx and Crake from CLAMS and only had 14 days to read it . . . but I did it ! It is a manageable 2000-ish ebook pages on my iPhone, not intimidatingly long like the
Outlander series.
I like the way Atwood writes. Her vocabulary is rich so reading on my phone with the instant dictionary function was great. The dystopian theme of this book is very familiar yet different enough to make it compelling, and the character development kept this reader routing for their survival.
Got to get reading
The Year of the Flood now . . . before my 14 days expire!
