And that’s how people got the idea of the immortality of the soul—it was a consequence of grammar. And so was God, because as soon as there’s a past tense, there has to be a past before the past, and you keep going back in time until you get to I don’t know, and that’s what God is.” (  )  proustitute | Apr 2, 2023 |  I found the philosophy of the Gardeners to be fresh and that is probably what kept moving through the book. I felt like I was always ready to get to the end, and not enough happened to fill the void until then. I also felt like the main characters weren't strong enough. Yet, at the end it did make me intrigued for what the final book will bring. (  ) misterysun | Feb 27, 2023 | FROM AMAZON: The times and species have been changing at a rapid rate, and the social compact is wearing as thin as environmental stability. Adam One, the kindly leader of the God's Gardeners—a religion devoted to the melding of science and religion, as well as the preservation of all plant and animal life—has long predicted a natural disaster that will alter Earth as we know it. Now it has occurred, obliterating most human life. Two women have survived: Ren, a young trapeze dancer locked inside the high-end sex club Scales and Tails, and Toby, a God's Gardener barricaded inside a luxurious spa where many of the treatments are edible. Have others survived? Ren's bioartist friend Amanda? Zeb, her eco-fighter stepfather? Her onetime lover, Jimmy? Or the murderous Painballers, survivors of the mutual-elimination Painball prison? Not to mention the shadowy, corrupt policing force of the ruling powers . . . Meanwhile, gene-spliced life forms are proliferating: the lion/lamb blends, the Mo'hair sheep with human hair, the pigs with human brain tissue. As Adam One and his intrepid hemp-clad band make their way through this strange new world, Ren and Toby will have to decide on their next move. They can't stay locked away . . . By turns dark, tender, violent, thoughtful, and uneasily hilarious, The Year of the Flood is Atwood at her most brilliant and inventive. Gmomaj | Jan 20, 2023 | Beautiful at times, in other places, boring. You get the suspicion that all the interesting things must have happened in Oryx and Crake. I guess until I read the other two books I really can't judge this one fairly. ( ) marsgeverson | Jan 12, 2023 | This was an interesting book. It's been a while since I've read Oryx and Crake, but I don't really think you have to have read it to enjoy this book. It's in the same world, looking at the same events, but from a different perspective. I really enjoy Atwood's writing. Her style is easy to read, and yet still poignant, and she gets her point across without being so strange and obscure that your head hurts at the end. I also really enjoyed the religion she created in this book with the Gardeners - it was such a fascinating mix of animal-rights, ecology and Christianity, sort of a left-wing fundamentalism that was very interesting to read about.

 Om Margaret Atwoods ”Syndaflodens år” kommer att räknas till de stora framtidsskildringarna går inte att säga ännu, men potentialen finns. In Hieronymus Bosch–like detail, Atwood renders this civilization and these two lives within it with tenderness and insight, a healthy dread, and a guarded humor. "The Year of the Flood" is a slap-happy romp through the end times. Stuffed with cornball hymns, genetic mutations worthy of Thomas Pynchon (such as the rakuunk, a combined skunk and raccoon) and a pharmaceutical company run amok, it reads like dystopia verging on satire. She may be imagining a world in flames, but she's doing it with a dark cackle.  Personally, though, I prefer Atwood in a retro mood. I’d easily take “Alias Grace” or “The Blind Assassin” over the lucid nightmares of “The Handmaid’s Tale” or “Oryx and Crake.” But fans of those novels should grab a biohazard suit, crawl into a hermetically sealed fallout shelter, and dive right in. Canada's greatest living novelist undoubtedly knows how to tell a gripping story, as fans of "The Blind Assassin" and "The Handmaid's Tale" already know. But here there's a serious message, too: Look at what we're doing right now to our world, to nature, to ourselves. If this goes on . . .
