The+Year+of+the+Flood

Jake Sloofman The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood is a disturbing and fascinating vision of a dystopian future. The book follows the stories of Toby and Ren, two survivors of a worldwide pandemic. Both characters are connected by their former membership to a cult called the God’s Gardeners. Readers of Atwood’s earlier works will notice events and characters from her 2003 novel Oryx and Crake. The Year of the Flood was entertaining and well written. Atwood managed to balance depressing subject matter with her unique brand of dark humor. This book was incredibly engrossing and will leave you wanting more.
