Publisher's Summary
Two women have avoided it: the young trapeze-dancer, Ren, locked into the high-end sex club; and former SecretBurgers meat-slinger turned Gardener, Toby, barricaded into a luxurious spa. Have others survived? And what are the odds for the human race?
By turn's dark, tender, violent, thoughtful, and uneasily hilarious, The Year of the Flood is Atwood at her most effective.
Critic Reviews
"Another stimulating dystopia from this always-provocative author, whose complex, deeply involving characters inhabit a bizarre yet frighteningly believable future." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Classic Atwood
Great novel. Really gets you thinking about where humanity is heading. Engaging point of view with multiple voices. Could have done without the singing of thr God's Gardeners hymns.

The plot !! She just keeps me looking into every corner of my soul
I loved this second novel to the series! What Margret is able to achieve is to take the human world as we don’t see it and make it to a work in which we need to see it ! And once we do that we then start to look at every corner and cravis of the mind and soul and look deep within to know if you are capable of pushing the limits. Also the water loss flood was brilliant the music in this audbile version with the oral hyms is amassing . I have adhd so I read the physical book and also listen to it on audible at 5.5 x speed and read every night before bed espically and this scares me this book in my own brain. I don’t know if I could survive the waterless flood…

Great story and reading but....
I really enjoyed the story but for some reasons the hymns included as part of the story have been turned into actual songs and it's fairly jarring to go from the narrator to a song then back to the story.
If these had just been read normally it would have been much more enjoyable

Probably how things are going to pan out.
Atwood dusts off her crystal ball for a glimpse into what is now our very near and very wacky impending doom. The singing is a bit bad but the writing makes up for it.

Brutal and Beautiful
This book has a way of jumping between the tragic and the joyous that is really gripping. I love the world that it is set in. It is a parody of the direction we seem to be headed with corporations. In a way I see our future in this story.

A plunge into dystopia
A fantastic reading of an excellent piece of fiction. If you enjoyed Oryx, you'll like YotF all the more.

Loved the first book. This one not so much.
The tone of the first book was great but this was completely different. Less engaging. I found the songs that popped up during the story rather irritating and skipped them.
