Literature of Horror, Fantasy & Sci-Fi Spring 2011

Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake is kind of the strangest book yet. I have a fear of children and the Craken kids freak me out! I loved Snowman's adventure though. This is a book about a true quest for humanity and relations. I have to say that I think that the part of the book after the storm where Margaret describes stale cigarettes, chocolate, and the things we take for granted in so much detail as though the reader would't even know what they were was fantastic. I love book that make you re-think what thinks you have to an extent that they do not even exist anymore as a common day object. The problem is, when reading things like this, it seems so true. It seems as though every step we take could led this fantasy to become reality. Besides that I am glad for the prostitution, the strangeness of a simple hat, and a love triangle. CHILD PORNOGRAPHY IS BAD!... heehee ^///^
Anyways this book in the end confused me and had way too many references to the bible, Frankenstein and other things that confuse me. The end.
