Una conmovedora historia sobre el último habitante del planeta en un inquietante mundo postapocalíptico.

Oryx y Crake es una inolvidable historia de amor y una conmovedora imagen de un cercano e inquietante horizonte postapocalíptico.

Conocido como Jimmy antes de que el planeta se viese asolado por una serie de desastres naturales, Hombre de las Nieves llora la pérdida de Crake, su mejor amigo, y de la bella y esquiva Oryx, de quien ambos estaban enamorados, mientras lucha por sobrevivir en absoluta soledad sobre la faz de la Tierra.

A merced de los elementos, acechado por los recuerdos y sin más compañía que la de los Hijos de Crake, esos seres de ojos verdes que lo consideran una especie de profeta, Hombre de las Nieves se pregunta cómo ha podido cambiar todo en tan poco tiempo y emprende un doble viaje hacia su pasado y hacia la burbuja de alta tecnología …

Can't bring myself to put this into the "I liked it" category. There were interesting ideas. It was plausible. It just never rose to the level of enjoyment.

Another thing that gets me is the old maxim that a story should be about the most interesting person in the story. That's not the case here. It's like if Breaking Bad was told from the viewpoint of Walter White's son.

This is the picture of a world gone crazy with genetics, at times bleak and at times funny. Humanity has devised its own demise and there's a whole new species created to replace us. It is a very well told story, that builds up on the questions of how far can we go with science. It is, deep inside also a tale of friendship and a heartbreaking love story.

I LOVED Oryx & Crake! The way it was set up had me longing to get to the next page/next chapter/the end. It was gripping, thrilling, taught, and very sarcastic about the world we live in. It also really makes you think. Overall, I think a book that EVERYONE should read, no matter where your tastes lie.
