- Genre: Adventure Sci-Fi
Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testamants—this final volume of the internationally celebrated MaddAddam trilogy "has brought the previous two books together in a fitting and joyous conclusion that’s an epic not only of an imagined future but of our own past" (The New York Times Book Review).
The Waterless Flood pandemic has wiped out most of the population. Toby is part of a small band of survivors, along with the Children of Crake: the gentle, bioengineered quasi-human species who will inherit this new earth.
As Toby explains their origins to the curious Crakers, her tales cohere into a luminous oral history that sets down humanity’s past—and points toward its future. Blending action, humor, romance, and an imagination at once dazzlingly inventive and grounded in a recognizable world, MaddAddam is vintage Atwood—a moving and dramatic conclusion to her epic work of speculative fiction.

5By PigglzThis final book in the trilogy was incredible. Although I didn't want to story to end, the ending was perfectMargaret Atwood: Great Writer or Greatest Writer
5By Marcos El MaloEven with such high expectations for the this, the third (and final?) book of the series, Atwood manages to astound and surprise. Amusing and dark by turns, this compelling post apocalyptic yarn is filled with deft touches, little gemlike jokes, and overall loveliness.Worth the wait
5By PuckspazzI couldn't put it down, but also didn't want it to end. This has replaced Oryx and Crake as my favorite book.Great end to a great series
5By GipsyPlisI appreciate the section at the beginning that reminds you of the previous books, as it has been a while since I read the others. The trilogy is amazing not only for its vivid characters and semi-realistic storyline, but also for the strange alliances formed and the creativity of the survivors. The scientists are very well written, as a scientist myself I have had some similar conversations as the ones in this story. Reading this book has been a tense pleasure.Good stuff
