Helpful Score: 1

Margaret Atwood continues her excellence at weaving a believable story from unbelievable events. Having read "The Year of the Flood" before this book, I was interested to learn more about Oryx and Crake (the characters). I was not disappointed, and many events in this book helped me to understand the former book (which follows this one). Imagination and likable characters add to Atwood's ability to move a story foward quickly, while the events themselves are moving slowly. Amazing story line. Future events not so far from how our actual world is evolving draw you in, and the lone character in this novel keeps you interested with his past thoughts and memories.
