From the Booker Prize–winning author of Oryx and Crake, the first book in the MaddAddam Trilogy, and The Handmaid’s Tale. Internationally acclaimed as ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR by, amongst others, the Globe and Mail, the New York Times, the New Yorker, and the Village Voice In a world driven by shadowy, corrupt corporations and the uncontrolled development of new, gene-spliced life forms, a man-made pandemic occurs, obliterating human life. Two people find they have unexpectedly survived: Ren, a young dancer locked inside the high-end sex club Scales and Tails (the cleanest dirty girls in town), and Toby, solitary and determined, who has barricaded herself inside a luxurious spa, watching and waiting. The women have to decide on their next move--they can’t stay hidden forever. But is anyone else out there?

So this is a peranell novel to Oryx and Crake, and I am stil struggeling if I want that or not. In some ways I liked Jimmy, I wanted this book to also be about him and be around him more than what it actually was. I enjoyed the storyline in general. I did fall out and feel less connected with the whole way it was written ths time.
I mean I am not sure what else to write, in general I enjoyed it but unlike the first book tjis did not feel revelutionery to me. It felt at times that it did not have enought details. The storyline did not have enough depth and I wish I gotten just MORE, I was simply not obessed with this book.
