I was just reviewing this and read your review - how exciting to read a review by someone who actually lives in the town where it is set! And it's lovely to see that the town is portrayed realistically, too. I've read a few books set in my home town of Birminhgam, UK, but get really annoyed if there's a glaring mistake!
I hope you get hold of the next volume soon - I don't think it's out yet.
Best wishes,
Liz

god, I'm so excited to go!
Actually I'm in Quebec, so we don't really have college. Quebec has Cegep(the rest of Canada does not), a kind of pre-university college system. Lol, sorry if you already knew that. I find the various education systems pretty confusing sometimes. I'm at Concordia University, studying History.
we seem to have a lot of books in common. also: Doctor Who is awesome.

It was Oryx and Crake in fact. It's quite intense. my impression from the reviews here is that people either love it or hate it, but if you've liked her other books, you'll probably like this one. it reminded me of a sort of before and after of 1984 or Brave New world, if that makes any sense.
my good friend goes to Oberlin, and I'm hoping to go visit her during my spring break. what did you study?

by the way, I noticed Oberlin College on your profile. Did you go there as a student?
