I think it's the perfect combo of speculative fiction, interesting writing, characterization, intriguing plot, and weirdness.
The only bad thing about this book is that you can never get the first reading experience back once you know what happened to the world.

Very reminiscent of 1984 and A Clockwork Orange in terms of its violence, intensity and reflections on the darker side of humanity. Fans of these novels (I was not a fan of either one) will almost definitely enjoy Oryx and Crake.
