I'm not sure which I enjoyed more, ‘Oryx and Crake' or this book, but I definitely suggest that you read ‘Oryx and Crake' first and then follow it up with ‘The Year of the Flood.' They are both excellent dystopian novels.

I wasn't one of those that was disappointed by the way ‘Oryx and Crake' ended, but that may have been because unlike those who read it when it was first published, I knew that there was a companion novel. At any rate, I highly recommend both novels to anyone who is a fan of Atwood, or dystopian novels in general.
