I recently acquired Margaret Atwood's The Year of the Flood, the sequel to Oryx & Crake which is one of my all-time favourite books.
My question is this:
Will it be necessary to reread Oryx & Crake before cracking the spine of The Year of the Flood, or could I do without?
Not that rereading Oryx & Crake is such an ordeal, but I'd much rather just plunge right into the new narrative. However, if not having (recently) read O&C will prove detrimental to my enjoyment of TYotF I'd much rather reread the former once more.
Any input?
Cheers
