Oh snowman, guardian of the children of Crake and the children of Oryx, thank you for taking me on this journey.

I found the ending rather abrupt, but really enjoyed everything else about this apocalyptic novel. We explore the before and the after, of a plague that cleared earth of most its inhabitants. What's left is an engineered tribe of new humans, and our narrator Snowman, who is haunted by the voices of his past, who might have played a crucial part in the downfall of humanity.

Campbell Scott has a great voice for audio narrations.
