Review title: You'll never listen to the nightly news the same way again.
Product review: The reader is forewarned, as Atwood begins with this quote from Jonathan Swift in Gulliver's Travels: "I could perhaps have astonished you with strange improbable tales; but I rather chose to relate plain matter of fact in the simplest manner and style; because my principal design was to inform you, and not to amuse you." Thus, the novel is unlike any that Atwood has written before.Based on actual news clippings that the author has collected in the last few years, this is a futuristic novel about a world created by man's carelessness and greed. A world of cloned animals, extreme makeovers, genetically engineered foods and people, where new diseases pop up faster than new medications and supplements.Atwood's sardonic wit and quick pacing make this novel hard to put down, and leave you thinking about it long after you've put it down.
