Book: Oryx and Crake

I loved this book, just like I love all of Atwood's books. This was on eof the most frustrating books of hers I have read though. I just kept thinking the whole time "Just tell me what is going on!!". Can't wait to read your review

Christina - It's different, that's for sure. But I am enjoying it, thanks!

Sara - I love the cover too! So mysterious.
