Summary of this Book...
Snowman lives - survives - in a post-apocolypic world as a prophet, of sorts, to the Children of Crake.
Flitting between Snowman's now and his pre-apocolypic past (when he was still called Jimmy), the story explains just who the Children of Crake are and why they are Jimmy/Snowman's responsibility.

This type of Book is good for...
Stretching your comfort zone. Atwood has a gift for turning the everyday mundane into futuristic extremism, which is invariably disquieting.
I especially liked...
*The unravelling of the gods Oryx and Crake into the woman Jimmy loved and his childhood friend.

*The descriptions of the now-feral genetically modified animals and plants.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Hasen on to the sequel, The Year of the Flood.
The author of this Book...
Has also written The Handmaid's Tale and Alias Grace, among many, many others.
