Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood Book Summary

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The first volume in the internationally acclaimed MaddAddam trilogy is at once an unforgettable love story and a compelling vision of the future—from the bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments

Snowman, known as Jimmy before mankind was overwhelmed by a plague, is struggling to survive in a world where he may be the last human, and mourning the loss of his best friend, Crake, and the beautiful and elusive Oryx whom they both loved. In search of answers, Snowman embarks on a journey—with the help of the green-eyed Children of Crake—through the lush wilderness that was so recently a great city, until powerful corporations took mankind on an uncontrolled genetic engineering ride. Margaret Atwood projects us into a near future that is both all too familiar and beyond our imagining.

100 Words or Less. Atwood creates complicated worlds. When it works, you don’t even noticing while accepting the future she builds. But when it doesn’t work, as in this novel, nothing holds together. Sections here are so well done, but the connections to other chapters, to the novel as a whole, are missing. Frankly, I think it’s due to the length. The novel seems half complete, as if large swaths of details have been glossed over. That’s disappointing. It’s not bad. It’s only half-baked, I think. I suppose that’s a weird review: “I didn’t like it because I wanted more.” But there it is.

One of the best books I've read. This was an option to read for my highschool AP class. When I read the info about it I was interested in reading this. I was so happy I read it because it was the only book I actually completely read in that class and enjoyed, and that means a lot considering I have A.D.D and can't STAND to read. Easily my favorite book.

Excellent Science Fiction. I've read a lot Atwood's works and always thought she would make for a great science fiction writer. This novel proves it.

Oryx and Crake. Unbelievable in it's nerve, riveting and not put downable! I didn't start out to read it....I was planning on Atwood's Maddadam but when I read that Maddadam was third in a trilogy, I semi-grudgingly started with the first in the trilogy. I'm so glad I did. I have now read all three in record time and they are not even 'my type' of genre. But the writing, fabulous story and lush vocabulary hooked me at once.....and has stayed with me....I don't want to start anything literary yet...I am having trilogy hangover!

TW:sensationalized child sex trafficking. The writing style is good. The storyline leaves a little to be desired. The first glimpse to child trafficking is around chapter 5 when the two boys are watching TV together. This was a brief call out somewhat easy to skip over and continue the story. Unfortunately 40% into the book we have a detailed recounting into child human trafficking growing into child sex trafficking. At this point as a woman and a survivor of sex crimes I need to leave this book. Outside of the aforementioned subjects and themes I did not enjoy the book but I enjoy the writing style. I only entertain continuing on because the reviews of the author in which I do not agree. I will give kudos to the vocabulary and storytelling skills but I takeoff for storyline, themes and lack of character development almost halfway through the book.

Oryx and Crake. This book is more specifically speculative fiction, very well-researched, and something you might read in a college course. I recommend it to those looking for a hefty read. The writing style fits the narrative really well. It is dystopian and dark, so not for the faint of heart, and impressively progressive for being published in 2003. Content warning: this story contains child trafficking, cursing, and a cliffhanger.

So strange. Strange and gross.

Eerily Relevant. Oryx and Crake is a conundrum. The plot and story line, as one would expect in a post-apocalyptic yarn, are disjointed and fragmented. I found myself grasping to keep the thread from chapter to chapter but I persevered. At times, little pearls of e science fiction came to light and made the story gel. Other times, not so much. I’d be curious to read the following two offerings in the MaddAddam series to see if it all comes together. I did notice a direct prophetic correlation in the events of the recent pandemic with scenarios in the novel which was quite chilling. Don’t expect a happy ending with this one or much of an ending at all. (A perfect segue for a sequel?) ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Oryx and Crake. I have over 40 books on my iPad since I purchased it. This is the only book that I couldn't get through. I read over half of the book to give it a viable chance. I found it slow and plotting. I found the plot to be nonexistent and halfway through there still didn't seem to be a purpose to the book. I would not recommend this book to anyone wanting to read a science fiction genre. Flip 513
