The Year of the Flood

The Year of the Flood, Margaret Atwood, 2009, Doubleday. Genre: SciFi. 434 pages. Finished 3/23/13.

LesOpinion: Gentle Reader, you already know my thoughts about SciFi as a genre. The saving grace of Atwood's SciFi is that the woman can write. The Year of the Flood is another dystopian novel--the contemporary world beset by the tyranny of corporations, Big Pharma, and climate change. Good luck to us all.

Circumstances under which I recommend this book: You like SciFi and want to read a reasonably good book. If you don't like SciFi, you should stick with The Handmaid's Tale.
