The review for www.bookbrowse.com had to be around 50 words in length, so below is what I submitted to them. I'll expand my review later to let you know why I thought the book sounded more realistic this time. For now, enjoy the brief review below.
Dystopic Sci Fi that hits close to home
I enjoyed this book immensely. I would recommend reading Oryx and Crake before trying this book. When I first read Oryx and Crake, for which The Year of the Flood is a sequel, I thought it was an appealingly silly vision of a dystopic future. But after reading The Year of the Flood, it no longer sounds silly, it sounds like some of the events in the book could really happen. If you liked Brave New World, The Road, or We, you would probably enjoy this book.
