Oryx & Crake by Margaret Atwood - Book Discussion

Yes lads I am HYPED to be talking about Oryx & Crake, the first book in the MadAddam series and the ninth video in our Atwood Book Club. I was an instant fan of MadAddam and The Year of the Flood when I first read them, and even though Oryx & Crake was my least favourite of the three, I was excited to reread and delve into the themes of this novel. Let me know what you guys thought of the book and please subscribe for more literary content.
