I adore Atwood and I loved Oryx and Crake. I initially didn't think the story of God's Gardeners would be as enthralling as the story of the scientists in O&C, but you stitch the two together and get a vibrant world that these characters inhabit. Add to that the dry humor and satire. Couldn't put it down.
Roberts is occasionally a bit too extreme (and i think overreaches her hypotheses) but it's still an interesting read, and a good look at some of the problems within the current child welfare system. (If you're looking for an overview, I'd recommend supplementing the book with other references, like Conlan's discussion of new federalism in the welfare state and Bartholet's evaluation of the child welfare system).
