Book Review: Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood - first in a dystopian trilogy. I almost stopped several times, but I kept reading because of the good reviews of later books in this trilogy. The problem is that you have no idea what is going on for the first 3rd of the book. And then it is really not until the end that you really get the whole story. But by the time I get the story I am not really sure I wanted it. I also had a problem with crassness of the story. I think it was intentional, showing culture as well as technology had been corrupted.
