Resumen del Editor
Two women have avoided it: the young trapeze-dancer, Ren, locked into the high-end sex club; and former SecretBurgers meat-slinger turned Gardener, Toby, barricaded into a luxurious spa. Have others survived? And what are the odds for the human race?
By turn's dark, tender, violent, thoughtful, and uneasily hilarious, The Year of the Flood is Atwood at her most effective.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Another stimulating dystopia from this always-provocative author, whose complex, deeply involving characters inhabit a bizarre yet frighteningly believable future." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Margret Atwood at her best
In my opinion this book " The Year of the Flood" returns Margret Atwood to the genius level she achive in " The Handmaidens Tale" in which she so closely foresaw some of the dangers of the Religious Right long before they became a reality. Here she pose so many Eco question and how they may be handled in an increasingly fratured sociaty. A sociaty we and the finacial crisse are fast building. Much food for thought.
On a pracial level, the destion to have the contents of the "Oral Hymnbook" done in song on the reading/recording adds an aditional level of enjoyment, Thanks to, whoever thought of that.
Great Book great recording.

Strange and ponderous
It's been a couple of years since I read Oryx and Crake and I think after listening to this one I need to go back and reread and see how they fit together. It's a strange book and it makes you think. The narrator does a fantastic job, and the inclusion of music (songs sung by the God's Gardeners cult) in the audio version was a nice touch.

Incredibile work of imagination
A truly interesting dark prediction of the future: violent and imoral. I'm surprised by the authors imagination and creativity. Nice psychological analysis of the characters. Interesting disorganized chronology and multiple perspectives in the narration. I highly recommend it.

Great performance
Incredibly intelligent piece of writing. Teaches so many lessons. There were parts that felt like they dragged, but I’m more than happy that I read this. Atwood does a good job of writing stories that don’t have gaps or parts that feel off. Her characters are so real and consistent. She also does an incredibly job of appealing to the senses.

Thought provoking
What did you love best about The Year of the Flood?
The message for sustainability.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Year of the Flood?
The correlation between today's societies obsession with looking young - botox, plastic surgery, fake body parts and those described in the story.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Lorelei King?
Her slow drawl is not what I prefer to listen to - I'd rather not, unless it is appropriate to the vernacular of the story.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
no

Poetic without pace
This story was quite poetic and literary. I could appreciate the style of writing, with its many beautiful descriptive passages. I ENVY the writing style. The characters were tragically flawed in a brilliant way. But. It was just too painfully slow moving for me. I did not get through it all and dropped it three quarters of the way. By then, I just didn't care anymore if the world ended or not.

disapointing
Any additional comments?
Loved the first book in the series and thought this would be similar. But here it feels like time is standing still, there is lack of a storyline and feels like it is written as an extra afterthought.
At every X chapter there is some song to praise god and that gets annoying very fast. The narration was otherwise very good. I stopped reading somewhere over halfway and wished i stopped sooner.

Surprisingly bad
Oryx & Crake was my first experience reading Atwood and it was truly wonderful. I was shocked to find the sequels so lacking. Impossible to suspend disbelief when presented with such dumb coincidences. I couldn’t help but shake my head on far too many occasions.

Aburrido
Esperaba más, las partes cantadas son lo peor. Quédense con el libro anterior, este no vale la pena.
