 Having not taken in any of Ms. Atwood's writing before reading this, I knew very little what to expect with this one. I chose it for it's 50 cent crossword puzzle clues in the title. (The cover really doesn't tell you much of what you'll find inside; for all I knew I was gonna read a book about art history). Atwood has a keen storytelling sense, and develops her characters well. The story is a utopian/dystopian sci-fi wack-job, taking place in the not-so-distant future involving Crake's idea by destroying the world as we know it and creating a new one from scratch. At times the story reads like a sick and twisted fairy tale, but it's one well worth wading through, even if you're (like me) not all that interested in Science Fiction.

 Fascinating world, expertly depicted, though I could have done with it ending about a chapter or two earlier than it did. Am intrigued to read the "sequel"....

 LOVE Margaret Atwood. One of the better living writers. What a fantastic story, and all pulled together wonderfully in the last 50 pages. Can't wait to read "Year of the Flood"...
