Book Reviews of Oryx and Crake
Book Review: "Bogus!"
Summary: 4 Stars
Interesting trip through one man's misery and guilt. Snowman may be the last human on Earth. He's haunted by his memories of Oryx and Crake, his lover and friend from before the apocalypse. Together the three are responsible for triggering the end of humanity and Snowman is left to pick up the pieces.
The book clocks in around 350 pages but felt much shorter, due to the accessible prose. The only flaw is the lightning quick shifts from the present to flashback and back-the problem being that as soon as I begin to feel comfortable Atwood switches gears yet again, creating a slightly jarring effect. This, however, is a minor problem considering the story as a whole. I could not put this down!
