It answers some of the questions of Oryx and Crake, develops and further elaborates upon several of the characters in the first book, and reveals the identity of the three human figures who appear at the end of the earlier book. ![]() ![]() The earlier novel contained several brief references to the group. The book focuses on a religious sect called the God's Gardeners, a small community of survivors of the same biological catastrophe depicted in Atwood's earlier novel Oryx and Crake. The reader learns of his past, as a boy called Jimmy, and of genetic experimentation and pharmaceutical engineering that occurred under the purview of Jimmy's peer, Glenn "Crake". It focuses on a lone character called Snowman, who finds himself in a bleak situation with only creatures called Crakers to keep him company. She has described the novel as speculative fiction and adventure romance, rather than pure science fiction, because it does not deal with things "we can't yet do or begin to do", yet goes beyond the amount of realism she associates with the novel form. Oryx and Crake is a 2003 novel by Canadian author Margaret Atwood. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Brief introductions to each document place the works in historical context.

Thucydides warns us in his histories that the longer wars go, the more violent, and less civilized they become. Prisoners were treated with respect and released. The losers were rarely, if ever, chased down and stabbed in the back. Before the Peloponnesian Wars, wars lasted only a few hours, and the losing side was treated with dignity. ![]() The Peloponnesian Wars were ugly, with both sides committing atrocities. ![]() From 431 to 404 BC the conflict escalated into what is known as the "Great War." To the Greeks, the "Great War" was a world war, not only involving much of the Greek world, but also the Macedonians, Persians, and Sicilians. Thucydides wrote a book called The History of the Peloponnesian War. Thucydides was ostracized after the Spartans' decisive victory at the Battle of Amphipolis in 422 BC, where Thucydides was one of the Athenian commanders. The Athenian Thucydides is the primary source of the wars, as he fought on the side of Athens. ![]() These wars also involved most of the Greek world, because both Athens and Sparta had leagues, or alliances, which brought their allies into the wars as well. ![]() The Peloponnesian Wars were a series of conflicts between Athens and Sparta.

NEED started out with an interesting concept: a social media network for a small-town Wisconsin high school. My experience with Joelle Charbonneau’s Testing Trilogy was a bit of rocky ride but nonetheless, I was super intrigued by NEED! I always love a good mystery and/or thriller and that seems to be a genre that’s gaining popularity in the past year or so in YA and looks like it will continue to grow in the years to come! I was anxious to read NEED in the hopes that it would be a book that totally turned my world upside down! In this chilling YA thriller, the author of the best-selling Testing trilogy examines not only the dark side of social media, but the dark side of human nature. Soon the site turns sinister, with simple pranks escalating to malicious crimes. ![]() Teenagers at Wisconsin's Nottawa High School are drawn deeper into a social networking site that promises to grant their every need. ![]() ![]() Related Posts: The Testing (The Testing #1), Independent Study (The Testing #2) Find it on the web: Buy from Amazon // Goodreads Date Completed: October 30, 2015 ![]() ![]() ![]() I would highly recommend starting the Covenant series or anything else written by the lovely Jennifer L.

The Return is to be released in February of 2015 so I wanted to read the book series before the release date.
