A review by yeahhails
Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood

3.0

I thought this book was interesting and right off the bat could tell that I really appreciated Atwood’s writing style. The only reason why I’m giving this book 3 stars instead of 4 or 5, is that for the majority of the book there were certain things that I was really waiting to find out, and although she spent a lot of time describing and slowly building up to it, she only reserved the last 35-40 pages to tell the parts that I was most interested in. However, I’d definitely like to read the second book in the series, which I can only imagine will have a pretty different storyline from the first. I also read this book during the height of the coronavirus outbreak, which if you make it to the end, you’ll see how the experience made it a little more creepy for me!
