Oryx and Crake (MaddAddam, #1)

Originally I was waiting for my aunt to borrow me her copy of the book, as I've borrowed the other two from her, but she couldn't find her's, so I ended up buying it on Audible instead.
This is the first book in Margaret Atwood's post-apo trilogy, MaddAddam.
I've already read book 2, which isn't a problem, because it tells the story from book 1, from a whole different POV - two, to be precise.
I will be honest and say I thought book one would be a bit more like book two, but that was not the case.
That fact made me really glad I'd already read book 2.
When reading book 2, I felt I often had to stop to think about the things being said. There was a lot of backstory withing the original story, which was a bit confusing.
In book 1, however, we don't get that same level of backstory, which was OK, not that I knew it, but I think I would have wondered about it, if I didn't already know.
In this book we follow a character we meet in book 2, but much closer here, and his POV is the only POV - which is good, as he jumps back and forth in time a lot!
This could be confusing if we saw it from multiple POVs
But this worked.
Other than that, I honestly don't know what to say.
It was an OK listen, and I'm actually itching to start reading the last book in the series, even if I'm currently reading something else...
