The Year of the Flood!
 
My first impression of The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood was confusing. At first, I was not able to follow the plot and had to take notes for each chapter. However, as I read on, I found the plot to be quite intriguing and even gripping. It is a creative story on a possible future apocalyptic world, which I think everyone, once in their lifetime, probably ponders.

As a Christian, I believe in the future apocalyptic that is recorded in the book of Revelations in the Holy Bible. The waterless flood, described in this book, leads to a different conclusion than that of the Bible, which is interesting to read because it opens an interesting issue that is arising in our society.


Examining some of her
book reviews on The Year of the Flood, I anticipate reading her former book, Oryx and Crake. It would appear that there are many parallels between these two books.
