"Lights a fire from the fears of our age. . . . Miraculously
balances humor, outrage, and beauty." —The New York Times Book
Review
"Margaret Atwood is an utterly thrilling storyteller. . . .
[MaddAddam is] wonderfully entertaining and just about everything
you could want in a novel." —The Washington Post
“Thoughtful, sardonic, and full of touches that almost resemble a
fairy tale, MaddAddam will stick with you long after
you’ve put it down.” —NPR
"The most profound [book] of the trilogy. . . . An adventure story
and a philosophical meditation on humanity's predilection for
carnage and creation." —The Economist
"[Atwood’s] most incisive and sociologically acute work. . . . A
picture of a very near and very plausible future." —New York
magazine
“[Atwood’s] vision of global disaster in the not-too-distant future
is thrilling, funny, touching and, yes, horrific.” —The Washington
Post
“Fiction master Margaret Atwood wields a mighty pen.” —O, The Oprah
Magazine
“Sardonically funny. . . . [Atwood] certainly has the tone exactly
right, both for the linguistic hypocrisy that can disguise any kind
of catastrophe, and for the contemptuous dismissal of those who
point to disaster. . . . MaddAddam is at once a pre- and a
post-apocalypse story.” —The Wall Street Journal
“The culmination of a satirical dystopian saga a decade in the
making. . . . Full of adventure and intrigue.” —San Francisco
Chronicle
“The imaginative universe Atwood has created in these books is
huge. . . . It’s a dystopia, but it’s still fun.” —Los Angeles
Times
“This third book of Margaret Atwood’s acclaimed near-future
dystopian trilogy is its best. . . . Atwood presents a moving
and convincing case for our stories’ continued existence long after
we’re gone.” —The Seattle Times
“This unsentimental narrative exposes the heart of human creativity
as well as our self-destructive darkness. . . . MaddAddam is fueled
with edgy humor, sardonic twists, hilarious coincidences.” —The
Boston Globe
“This novel sings. . . . Close attention to detail, to voice, to
what’s in the hearts of these people: love, loss, the need to keep
on keeping on, no matter what.” —The Miami Herald
“There is something funny, even endearing, about such a dark and
desperate view of a future—a ravaged world emerging from alarmingly
familiar trends—that is so jam-packed with the gifts of
imagination, invention, intelligence and joy. There may be some
hope for us yet.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune
