The Year of the Flood - reading

Finished "The Year of the Flood" by Margaret Atwood. There were aspects of world-building reminiscent of "A Canticle for Liebowitz" (Walter M. Miller, Jr.) and several interesting characters. I just didn't like where the story went, and felt the ending was unsatisfying. I originally picked this one up because the web site I Write Like (http://iwl.me/) said one of my stories most resembled the way Margaret Atwood writes. Now I can't remember which of my stories got me that result!

Edited to add: This is the third book in a row that I read with the creationism versus evolution argument played out in it in some way. I need to find something different!
