I'm a little torn about this book... I really like Margaret Atwoods style and language and I loved A Handmaid's Tale, but I just couldn't get comfortable with Oryx and Crake. 
 It seemed as if the author wanted to make everything seem mystical and shadowy but I was just bothered by the fact that 90% of the time I had no idea what was going on. I mean yes, she does reveal most of the things in the end, but it didn't leave me wanting for more and I'm not sure if I'm going to pick up the other two books of the MaddAddam trilogy. 
 I liked the whole apocalyptic scheme and how it started and developed, but other than that... I don't know. The characters seemed bland and boring with nothing to say, just living for their own sake and ideas. The protagonist seems like a spoiled and angry brat that does nothing else than complain and be bitter. 
 I'm not saying this was a bad book, that's why I gave it three stars, but it was just not my cup of tea. Maybe I'll give the second one a chance, but I don't really know yet. We'll see.
