Atwood has a way of describing the future that is horrifying and at the same time very plausible and even (here's where it gets really horrifying) inevitable. Calling this an enjoyable read probably isn't accurate, but it had my attention from beginning to end. Jimmy (aka Snowman) may be the only human left on earth after a terrible plague wipes out everyone -- except Snowman himself (who received immunity shots) and the genetically designed creatures that live in the sealed dome where Snowman worked with his brilliant but dangerous best friend Crake. Snowman is left to figure how things got so out of hand, and how he is going to survive. However, I didn't realize when I picked this up that it is one of a series and at the end there is no resolution, just an introduction to the next stage of the story. But I believe I'm hooked. I'm going to have to find out what happens next.
