This is one of those books that approximately eleventy thousand people told me "You HAVE to read this," and of course it stayed near the bottom of my reading list because I don't like to be told what to do. Eventually I got the audio book, and of course all of my friends were right. This book is exceptional, smart and captivating. It's also scary and truthful. I shudder to think about what Margaret Atwood is telling us here with her crystal ball.

Lo que más me gustó fue la relación entre los dos amigos: ambos se sienten fuera de lugar y se encuentran, son diferentes pero se sintonizan y son capaces de ser el respaldo del otro.
El final es abierto pero no ese tipo de final que busca que el lector lea la segunda parte para tener un cierre: bien podría haber terminado la historia en este punto y sería un buen final. El deseo de leer la siguiente parte es por conocer el otro lado de la historia.

One can rely on Margaret Atwood. She is always good.
But heavy. It is painful to read this book. Too painful so that I would read the other parts of this series. Maybe one day, in the future.
I am participating in several reading challenges and have 56 books to read this February :-D
I don't think I'll manage... the books I have chosen have over 20.000 pages, so I should read some 750 pages every day. I read about a page a minute, so it would take me 12-13 hours to read my daily dose...

Intriguing idea about the future, genetic technology, social changes. A great read!
