"A vision of the future rooted in the present,ORYX AND CRAKE marks Atwood’s bravenew return to speculative fiction."

I always smile at this kind of comment. I think of all the truly great writers of "speculative fiction" who made this mistake of admitting that what they were writing was Science Fiction, and were then consigned to the dustbin of genre prejudice.

This book is a pretty decent science fiction thriller, and I read it happily to the end. I didn't manage to second-guess it either, unlike Ishiguro's dismal attempt at a similar sort of thing in "Never Let Me Go".

Rated 7/10
