I had purchased Oryx and Crake back when I got my first e-reader. I think it was 2010. I didn't read it, I guess I just found other stuff to read instead and this book got left by the wayside. Learning that it was part of a trilogy piqued my interest, and then finding that I could borrow the other 2 from e-libraries made me decide to give it a try. I had only read one other Atwood book, The Blind Assassin, and I remember feeling so-so about that, so I wasn't sure what to expect from this trilogy.
I was pleasantly surprised. I found myself really enjoying the books. By the time I got to MaddAddam I found myself chuckling as I read accounts written from Zeb's perspective, as well as the passages about the Crakers as Toby tried to explain things to them. I had a feeling that the author herself enjoyed writing this book, and I think her dry sense of humor really came through.
