Books of 2022

Favorites:

- Owen by Kevin Henkes It’s a children’s book about a mouse who is very attached to his security blanket. XD

- Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler A very eerie post-apocalytpic/dystopian science fiction novel. The story is set between 2024 and 2027, so reading it in 2022, as a resident of California, was a bit chilling and very thought-provoking.

- Dragon Haven by Robin Hobb This is book 2 of the Rain Wild Chronicles series, and to be honest, I don’t highly recommend the other three books in the series, and I’m not sure I would have “favorited” it as a stand alone. But it’s the most dragon-centric book of the series and I really enjoyed her treatment of dragons and their lore.

5-Star Ratings in 2022:

- The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles Young man coming of age, vintage Americana.

- Bravely by Maggie Stiefvater Basically a look at what happens to Merida from Disney/Pixar’s “Brave” after the events of the movie.

- The Partner Track by Helen Wan Young, female, Asian lawyer, trying to make partner at her firm. Dealing with racism and sexism. Slight “Devil Wears Prada” vibes.

- The Hating Game by Sally Thorne Fun romance novel. Enemy to lovers trope.

- 99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne Fun romance novel.

- Mad Ship by Robin Hobb Book 2 of the Liveship Traders trilogy.

Dystopia V 1001 By now we have written 1000s of dystopias, projected the folly of our ways forward so many times it's like we are testing morbid futures like a swimmer putting a toe in the cold water before an inevitable plunge. In this novel Atwood projects the effects of gene craft. A thing so easily done it happens in high school projects by sweaty hormonal boys unimpressed by the world of their parents. One boy is so unspecial that he is every-boy, he's us the reader, confused by change and unable to find a home for his desires that constantly weaken him. Atwood presents crude solutions to mans vices, a sort of teenage final solution.through it all the story unravels like a mystery as each piece finally slots into place. Go to Amazon

A lot to think about in here Now that I have finished and started to digest Oryx and Crake I am struck by how much Atwood has to say in this book. There are so many themes, ideas and commentary in here: commentary about the social, cultural, environmental and ethical implications of genetic manipulation; commentary about the moral corruption and alienation of science, and the depersonalization of the internet and social media; commentary about sex, about male-female relationships, about poverty and war, about the angst and rebellion of adolescence; commentary about faith and religion, and about the ease with which it can be abused. Go to Amazon

Kept me hooked until the very last I had to read this novel for a college literature class and thoroughly enjoyed it. I wouldn't consider myself an avid reader but I liked Atwood's rendition of a dystopian future. I liked it especially since I could vividly picture the world she created, which is something I haven't been able to do very well with other novels. I also liked it because I could envision the future of our world winding up the way Atwood's world did, with its genetic splicing and dicing, the separation of the rich and super-intelligent living in fortified, biodomed, compounds and those of average intelligence and not a lot of money living out in the "pleeblands," and a world where science and math are highly regarded but English and the arts have fallen by the wayside and aren't really regarded as great skills to have. Being an English major myself that really hit home especially since I feel our world has already started moving in that direction. Go to Amazon

Genius Margaret Atwood is genius. She spends majority of the book building the main character, a bold move but very necessary for the storyline. It's refreshingly apparent that any scientific processes included have been thoroughly researched and are clearly explained with great attention to detail. Oryx and Crake is extremely thought provoking, really pushing you to consider how a genetically modified, desensitized society could end up. It's not a fast read by any means, as it requires your full attention. She drops many clues throughout the book that really build up to the end. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good dystopian/post-apocalyptic story. Go to Amazon

Masterful Trilogy of a Not So Distant or Impossible Future I am rating the entire trilogy here, as I know many people like to know what they are getting into when they start the first of three books. In a nutshell, Atwood's world-building, social commentary, characters, and writing are all superb in this series. She is a master and this trilogy makes all of the currently popular YA dystopia trilogies look trite and superficial by comparison. She has created a future world with just enough traits of our own to make it feel like a terrifyingly real possibility. She draws upon the current trends in genetic engineering, splicing, corporate power, increased economic division, environmental damage, and more to show how these could potentially all play out. We actually slowly learn of this world over the course of the 3 books, as the featured characters in each flash back to the past from their current lives in a post-apocalytpic world (the apocalypse in this case caused by the 'waterless flood' of a plague.) Go to Amazon

Terrible Condition!!! 😡 Amazing book. Unfortunately the rest of the series not ... Good. Book. this was my favorite. I love Margaret Atwood Absolutely great! Everything we do in the name of science ... Five Stars Fun but That's About All Of course growing humans for spare parts and then perfect humans was next Good Five Stars
