Review: The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood

I don't really know how I felt about this novel, other than a bit surprised that someone will be defending it for Canada Reads this year. Admittedly, I'm disconnected in the sense that I don't really remember Oryx and Crake clearly (the first in the series, that happens mostly concurrently)... and I think I may have been feverish through part of my reading of The Year of the Flood. I'd say that it was an enjoyable enough read, but I didn't really feel strongly for the two main characters (I, in fact, couldn't remember whose chapters I was reading most of the time), and the background concept was already familiar, presumably because I did read the other book even if it's vague to me now.

The book is post-apocalyptic and follows two survivors, but most of it is flashbacks to pre-apocalypse... and neither of the narrators are particularly notable to the apocalypse plot.

I don't know. I'll probably order MaddAddam and give it a shot; it's supposed to actually continue into the future which would likely be a bit better for me.
