Review from amazon:
A marvellous, wonderfully written atmospheric story set well into the future, which is grim indeed, and full of horrors following 'the disease'. Jimmy, now known as Snowman, is a survivor, and we follow his life both before and after the catastrophe. Oryx and Crake are shadowy figures from the past, who influence the present, and the whole book has a nightmarish vision of reality. This is a major piece of fiction by a supremely talented author; a novel to haunt your dreams, full of characters and animals who are only too lifelike.
Excellent read.
