Book Review of Oryx and Crake (MaddAddam, Bk 1)

Oryx and Crake (MaddAddam, Bk 1)
reviewed on


I'm somewhat of a connoisseur of post-apocalyptic fiction, most of which is terrible. Atwood's Oryx and Crake is a fine example of the genre at its best, a believable hypotheses, sympathetic characters, and a compelling storyline. This is a very dark tale, so it's definitely for the tenderhearted.
