The Year of the Flood Margaret Atwood
Publisher: Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group

Almost every character in "The Year of the Flood" either served as a minor character in "Oryx and Crake" or - at the very least - knew Jimmy or Glenn/Crake or Oryx. I gave this one four stars on Goodreads because, unlike Oryx, it's really preachy. 11 years after the worst flooding in 500 years hit Czech Republic, Czech capital Prague was flooded and paralyzed again on Monday, June 3, 2013. Then after many bands and many years later I switched to bass guitar, a few years later Above The Flood was formed. A new Atwood novel is always an exciting moment, and I was surprised to realise how long it had been since the last one, which was Oryx and Crake in 2003. The book is the third and final volume of her MaddAddam trilogy, which began with Oryx & Crake and continued with The Year of the Flood. The structure of both novels is very similar and they occupy the same timeframe. It seems that this year the world is experiencing a crisis of both too little water and too much. The Year of the Flood is Margaret Atwood's follow up to her 2003 dystopian novel Oryx and Crake, which I read about two years ago. I think I liked The Year of the Flood more than Oryx and Crake, though that one was good, too. I've been thinking a lot about 'The year of the flood' lately. I read it a couple of years ago, but I haven't stopped thinking about it. End of the world novels seem thicker on the ground than they were when Margaret Atwood published Oryx and Crake, to which this novel is a companion piece, featuring some of the same characters, seven years ago. The Year of the Flood is labeled as the second book of the MadAddam trilogy on Goodreads, which is quite misleading, and yet accurate.
