What They're Saying
Critics Review
Margaret Atwood also has the really fine writer’s light-footed ability to keep dancing around her characters … moving, but also very funny … MaddAddam is an extraordinary achievement - Independent on Sunday
Atwood has brought the previous two books together in a fitting and joyous conclusion … Atwood’s prose miraculously balances humor, outrage and beauty … This finale to Atwood’s ingenious trilogy lights a fire from the fears of our age, then douses it with hope for the planet’s survival - New York Times
There are few writers able to create a world so fiercely engaging, so funny, so teeming - ironically - with life. MaddAddam is ultimately a paean to the enduring powers of myth and story, and like the sharpest futuristic visions, it’s really all about the here and now - Daily Mail
A haunting, restless triumph … A writer of virtuoso diversity, with an imagination that responds as keenly to scientific concerns as it does to the literary heritage in which she is steeped … A dystopia over which Atwood sets swirling a glitterball of different kinds of fiction - Sunday Times
