Book Review of Oryx and Crake

Oryx and Crake
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


While I really ejoyed Atwood's Handmaid's Tale, this post-apocolyptic tale was less appealing to me because the two main characters are such unlikeable jerks (and I usually love a good post-apocolyptic story). I found the sequel to this book, In the Year of the Flood, to be much more enjoyable, and I was glad I read Oryx and Crake first because of the way they're interrelated.
