Review: 'Oryx and Crake' (Margaret Atwood)



Good book !

Set in a dystopian apocalyptic future, the novel revolved around a character called Snowman, who finds himself to be the last human alive on an Earth devastated by a man-made plague. Much of the novel takes on the form of a flashback narrative, as Snowman recounts the horrifying events that led to the apocalypse. What the book may lack in terms of technical hard core sci-fi setting, it more than makes up with it's dissection and probing of the human spirit through adversity.
