Many long discourses from Zeb, and, later, from Blackbeard, each one offering a slant on the story beyond what Toby can see or has experienced. Often suspenseful and at the conclusion, moving. Greatly recommended!

I read (and listened to the audios) this trilogy back to back to back and LOVED it. I hadn't read any Margaret Atwood and now I'm hooked. All of the characters are well developed and experiencing the story through so many perspectives was…

On my first reading of this trilogy, I read the books as they were published, which means years apart. This time I read them in sequence and found so many more interconnections and reveals that span more than one book than I did the first…

(Regarding all three books). Having devoured this entire trilogy this summer, I must say that it is almost life-changing. Atwood's vision of the near future is frighteningly believable; her creation of new beings and products can be…

A hopeful conclusion to one of my favourite series. Atwood is a Canadian treasure.

I read the first two of the series but could not get into this one. Could not finish it.

Interesting, but not as good as the previous two books in the trilogy. Personally found Zeb's story throughout the book more captivating then the rest of the storyline.

Typical Atwood. Weird, very well written and engaging. Cannot figure out if it is a novel about a future dystopia or a documentary about today.

I was shocked to read the second book and LOVED it. Didn't find out until this book that it was the 2nd in the series. Very confusing names and NO WHERE did they tell you which book was first so it was a guess on my part. I really liked…

The final chapters to this clever trilogy are emotionally uplifting. Thank you Margaret for a hopeful future. Don't read this, though, if you haven't yet read parts 1 and 2 of this series. It's charm lies mainly in the winding up and…

Madd Addam --- by Margaret Atwood. I had never (gasp!) read anything by this revered Canadian writer. Finally figuring out she wrote science fiction (that’s what it is, n’est pas? --- Iv'e been reading sci-fi for longer than I care to…

The “Madd­Addam” trilogy is epic not only for its imagined future, but for the past too. It was a pleasure to read a dystopian novel whose celebration of a possible, though uncertain future extended to the words themselves. And words were…

What a finale! I thought it was a very satisfying wrap-up and enjoyed getting the story from Jeb's perspective. It did make me want to go back and read the trilogy all over again. Atwood's storytelling can't be beat.

A satisfying conclusion to a fine trilogy. You'll definitely want to read the books in order, to better understand the plot and bond with the characters. (This book does provide a synopsis of the first two, which is helpful.)

Very good read, although not really what I thought it would be about. The focus is really on Zeb and his story (more so then the description provided in the library). It is very interesting how it intertwins the stories of the two previous…
