Book Review : Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood

Thursday June 10, 2004
Shortlisted for the 2003 Booker Prize and for the 2004 Orange Prize for Fiction, Margaret Atwood’s 2003 novel, Oryx and Crake, is so compelling that readers may find their view of the world forever changed after reading it.

With proven command of her material and usual sharp wit and dark humour, Atwood projects us into a wholly believable realm populated by characters who will continue to inhabit our dreams long after the last chapter.

Read Evan Dashevsky's review of Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood.
