The punctuation isn't consistent, though mostly lacking appropriation, giving the novel a monotonous, dreary tone. <br /><br />On the other hand, Oryx and Crake was quite funny and interesting at times (it only slowed a little right before the rapid-paced ending. I was glad to have read it in a dystopic lit class in which I gave a presentation--based on Inside the Actor's Studio--on the novel as a future movie called <A HREF="http://patricksoon.blogspot.com/2009/04/oryx-and-crake-movie.html" REL="nofollow">"The Crakers"</A>. We envisioned what Atwood's novel would be like if it featured Joaquin Phoenix (as Jimmy/Snowman), Chloe Sevigny (as Crake), and the direction of George Lucas. It mimics James Lipton's Inside the Actor's Studio.Patrick Soonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605539312998750325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66527852896187472.post-88874122977261049622009-03-26T22:43:00.000-04:002009-03-26T22:43:00.000-04:00Jennifer, Come pick up your Splash Award.Jennifer, Come pick up your <A HREF="http://blackeyedsusans.blogspot.com/2009/03/splash-making-impression.html" REL="nofollow">Splash Award</A>.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924982664582970754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66527852896187472.post-5641276797266275702009-03-24T19:30:00.000-04:002009-03-24T19:30:00.000-04:00I liked it a lot more than The Road.
