MaddAddam Trilogy: Oryx & Crake/The Year of the Flood/MaddAddam | Margaret Atwood

Currently on the third book of the MaddAdam Trilogy by Atwood (I‘m mainly listening to the audio though). What a fitting read for current events… you sometimes get the feeling that the world described is not as far away as I wish it was🙃🙃

sarahbarnes That is the truth! 3y

JillR Ive read the other two in this trilogy but still haven‘t got to this one despite having it on my shelves, must make time for it! 3y

ju.ca.no @JillR I was so intrigued after the first two, I just had to keep going! It‘s wrapping some questions up, which I still had after the first two books as well! 3y

I'm excited for this! I love Hulu's Handmaid's Tale adaption, so this will hopefully be amazing as well. Guess I finally have to read the last book now though. Lol.

CBee I am anxiously waiting on the next season of Handmaid‘s Tale 😳😳😳😳 4y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @CBee Yes!! Soon. 😊 4y

CBee @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego can‘t wait!! I just recently caught up and just, that last episode 😳😳😳 wow 4y

Librariana Please don't hate me... but I haven't watched the Hulu adaptation/series 🤦‍♀️ I know, I know! I'm sorry 🙈 I've read The Handmaid's Tale, but haven't delved into The Testaments. Plan is to do a refresher of the 1st book via graphic novel format and then dive into the show. Will I be safe watching the 1st season, you think? 4y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @Librariana Oh yeah. Go ahead and start watching. I hope you enjoy it. 4y

Jaimelire Sure hope this happens! 3y

No one beats Margaret Atwood at creating riveting dystopian, post-apocalyptic fiction.

#TimbitTunes So Bryan Adams made me think of MaddAddam which brings you to this post. And Margaret Atwood is Canadian and her biting writing #CutsLikeAKnife 🔪🖊 I haven‘t read this trilogy but I‘ve been told it‘s brilliant and it would work for #booked2019 #CliFi (Climate Fiction) and no, I haven‘t had coffee yet 🤪

TheKidUpstairs

GatheringBooks i have the entire series in my shelves, too, waiting to be read! 🤣😭📚🧚🏼‍♀️ 6y

squirrelbrain Very clever! 😁 6y

Cathythoughts Nice one ! Yes , am thinking of Orxy & Crake for #clifi.... the only book I really loved by Atwood so far , was The Blind Assassin ..... 6y

See All 16 Comments

TrishB Great thinking. This is on the piles! 6y

Cinfhen I loved Blind Assassin too @Cathythoughts and I did enjoy HandMaids Tale 6y

Cinfhen I‘ll wait to hear your thoughts @GatheringBooks @TrishB before I pick up this series...have you read it @squirrelbrain ??? 6y

squirrelbrain I enjoyed Oryx and Crake but haven‘t read the other two (yet!) 6y

BookwormM I loved the first and last books in this series not so much the middle one 6y

Lcsmcat I liked Oryx and Crake, but LOVED the other two. And I read Flood before either of the others. 6y

Melissa_J I‘ve only read two Atwood books - Handmaid‘s Tale and Blind Assassin. I loved both, but her other works hold little appeal to me. I think this might make me a bad Canadian. 6y

TheKidUpstairs I love these books! I need to reread the third one, I read it in the sleep deprived days after dude the first was born, so I have zero recollection of it! @Melissa_J don't worry, your citizenship is safe, I won't alert the authorities 😂😂 6y

Cinfhen Can they be read as a stand-alone ??? @Lcsmcat @BookwormM @TheKidUpstairs and that‘s VERY NAUGHTY of you @melissa_j 🤫🤫🤫 6y

TheKidUpstairs @Cinfhen the first one, yes. And I think even the second one could be standalone. But the third brings them together so you'd need to read both of the first two before tackling it. 6y

Lcsmcat @Cinfhen I wouldn‘t read MaddAddam first, because you‘d miss a lot. But the first two cover close to the same time period from different points of view, which are gathered together in the third. 6y

BookwormM I would read the whole series as it has more impact that way 6y

Melissa_J @Cinfhen 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😂 6y

I‘ve absolutely loved this trilogy. Attwood‘s scarily believable dystopia is still haunting me. Oryx and Crake was a bit of a slow starter but necessarily so. Year of the Flood was my favourite. Maddaddam was gripping. I did find the ending rather distressing but I‘m not sure if another ending would‘ve been possible. I would thoroughly recommend!

Why oh why does Margaret torture me with uneven pages? It's so hard to work out where I am up to as I can't see the page I have folded. Quite liked the series though. The second book was my favourite. I love some of the cover art.

abbsinwonderland They're called deckled edges. Often used to give the book an older look. Just learned that the other day. 7y

I love this trilogy. Atwood brings her signature subversive wit to an #astheworldfallsdown scenario.

(Incidentally, my favorite band, Girl in a Coma, does a killer cover of this song. Highly recommend)

I'm going with a sci-fi trilogy, because I can't choose a favourite from the three. I don't know if everyone would consider this to be sci-fi, but I think it fits the type. #READATHONBLOB @Liberty

BkClubCare Enjoy the world 🌎 of Maddaddam - I kind of wish I had waited til I had all three first before starting. I am not good with series because of the waiting. And the forgetting. Atwood is a master. 8y

meggofrank @BkClubCare thanks! I feel you on the series thing. I like to just burn through them. I read the first one a long time ago, but never got to the second. Then when the third one came out, I got all excited again. I adore Atwood. 8y

When I heard HBO was picking up the MaddAddam trilogy, to be directed by none other than DARREN ARONOFSKY, I almost lost my mind, in a good way. How awesome would that be! Sadly, HBO appears to have pulled the plug on the project. I really hope somebody else steps in to save this (*cough* Netflix, Amazon, come on guys *cough*) because it so #shouldbeamovie.

@RealLifeReading

vivastory Agreed. At least we have "Handmaid's Tale" & "Alias Grace" adaptations to look forward to. 8y

readordierachel @AGirlAndHerBooks Wouldn't it though? 8y

BookishFeminist WHAT?!?! 😭😭😭 I'm hoping someone else will eventually pick it up too. That's what happened with American Gods, originally slated for HBO but dropped and now being remade on Starz. 8y

readordierachel @BookishFeminist Oh, right! I forgot about that. Fingers crossed. 8y

vivastory HBO is pretty notorious for canceling projects. Also, Darren Aronofsky has a reputation for being unwilling to compromise. Think of that what you will, HBO had to know what they were getting into. 8y

lynneamch SO lucky. If I still lived in Iowa I'd have been there. Atwood is such a master of social criticism made more palatable with humor. Heard her NPR interview talking about the prison-for-profit system in connection with #theheartgoeslast . Audio of that one made me shake my head and smile. 8y
