What I did like was that your were pretty sure who did it, but there were definitely other possibilities…right to the end. I also like the way Kava turned Nick from a womanizer to someone on his way to being human, but honestly the romance angle of this felt a little wrong.

For the Crakers, Crake has always remained an omnipotent figure. Crake watches the Crakers develop from a hidden observation deck overlooking their living quarters inside the Paradice centre. Although one can imagine Crake created the Crakers from their name, it is in the chapter, Paradice, where Crake’s hand in their creation is confirmed. Of course, the most obvious parallelism in the story is of Crake and God. From the Craker named Abraham, to Snowman’s mention of the burning bush, the biblical characteristics of the story’s central characters are present through the entire novel. However, these references to the bible are more intricate than they might appear on the surface. ![]() Throughout Margaret Atwood’s, Oryx and Crake, the allusions to religion are quite clear. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Shirley A continued deliberate underinvestment in public education, that will ultimately undermine the US's ability to compete effectively against other count …more A continued deliberate underinvestment in public education, that will ultimately undermine the US's ability to compete effectively against other countries who _do_ decide to invest in their population. ![]() Since you posed this question 8 months ago, and I'm a tad "late to the dance" in responding, I'd be interested in whether you and your reading group read or tried to read the book and what the consensus was when you finished. If you live n the "red" South, as I do, where "white rage" is still alive and well, unfortunately, and the majority of white folks I know think Trump is the second coming, I recommend you first read this book yourself and then make an informed decision as to whether you want to tackle this topic with people who may or may not remain your friends when it's over. Anderson recounts with passion, clarity and (from what I am able to tell), sound scholarship.

But, believe you me, this book ain't no Jane Eyre. There was a great deal of potential in the plot, such as: a governess who stumbles upon a secret is forced to remain as a mute in the secret-holder's household. The plot was bland, the conflict was bland, the romance was bland (not because of the lack of, um, physical carnality but because there was not even a fizzle-much less a spark- between the two characters), and the characters were bland.
