Product Description:
A stunning and provocative new novel by the internationally celebrated author of The Blind Assassin, winner of the Booker Prize
Margaret Atwood’s new novel is so utterly compelling, so prescient, so relevant, so terrifyingly-all-too-likely-to-be-true, that readers may find their view of the world forever changed after reading it.
With breathtaking command of her shocking material and with her customary sharp wit and dark humour, Atwood projects us into a conceivable future of our own world, an outlandish yet wholly believable place left devastated in the wake of ecological and scientific disaster and populated by characters who will continue to inhabit your dreams long after the book is closed.
This is Margaret Atwood at the absolute peak of her powers. For readers of Oryx and Crake, nothing will ever look the same again.
I loved this book! Atwood is a literary genius. If you like this book try Adam Johnson's PARISITES LIKE US or Kurt Vonnegut's CAT'S CRRADLE.

Stunning- in both senses of the word! world of our possible future spins out of control to an utter conclusion. Can Man, or a man, truely destroy the world? A fightening answer to that question.

Another release I caught outside my office today--my wife would like to check this one out as well.
Perhaps I should have known better...but my wife really didn't care for this at all. It was much too grim for her and she bailed out partway through. (I also hadn't realized that it was set in the future before I picked it up...she tends to like books that go back into history more than forward into the future, especially when the future is depressing to her).
This book will soon be headed down south in trade to a Bookcrosser who had it on her Cliff1976 wish list.
I mailed this book this afternoon from Belgrade, Maine to Georgia.
I'm about halfway through this one. It is a great book so far! Thanks for the trade.
