About This Item

Ribbon marker. Not the best of paper.
Synopsis
Oryx and Crake is a dystopian science fiction
Reviews
On Dec 27 2015, a reader said:
The story in Oryx And Crake is actually a bit of a complicated one to try to summarize in just a sentence or two, but the gist of it is that there's this guy, referred to as Snowman, and he may or may not be the last human being as we know ourselves to be, as the world is now composed of genetically engineered everything. There are still humans of course, but they are a new breed of human, genetically modified to be "perfect" according to the mad scientist who created them. The thing is, Snowman knew this mad scientist when they were in school, in fact they were best friends, and it's through Snowman's memories that we learn of all the events that took place up til now and what on Earth happened to us. This book is so good, you'll never want it to end.

About Stillman Books
After closing my most recent bookstore in White Rock, B.C., I have decided to sell strictly online for the foreseeable future. My inventory is heavy on
children's and other illustrated books, along with aviation, sea and naval and other categories. I'm still plugging along after 42 years of book-selling.
