This book being the second book of a supposed trilogy, is made better reading the first book 'Oryx and Crake' before reading this. Atwood went out to write a companion to that book in more ways than one. The books share characters, timeline, as well as tone.

Her genius in this one is that almost everything is opposite in Flood when compaired to Oryx. In Oryx most of the characters are men, in flood thay are women.

Yup that's right, another batch of music from our favorite dude of rock Frank Black (the man with many names).

It seems like every decade Mr. Black needs to change things up in a drastic way, and so he does. This album is the first of his new phase 3. Rocky hip pop techno, is how I would describe this one. You can feel Frank in each song but there is defiantly something different in this album, and that would be Violet Clark leaving her mark.

The songs are hit and miss with more hits, even though the singing is uneven on some tracks, I have a feeling this was done for effect.
Pretty solid, I am happy with it.

Marvel thank you. This book is excellent. Way, way better than those crappy black and white jobs with the cheap newsprint paper. Its solid and heavy, with all the extras one would hope for. I will for sure be buying more Omnibus's. They are pretty much the equivalent of a totally digitally remastered blue ray of your favorite movie, only in book form.

Thank you Marvel.
