If you can handle the content, it’s a very sobering read - you may even find some hope in it. I highly recommend this book. I will, however, not be diving directly into the rest of the series. Breaks will be necessary if you are emotionally swayed by your reading - I should have taken more while reading.lyunahal's review against another edition

This is my second time reading Parable of the Sower and I finally understand that it's about community and keeping one another safe. Protecting one another in crisis. That is the answer to the question, "what do we do when disaster strikes?"
I also love the diversity in this book. The characters were very diverse like all other Butler books.
The beginning of the book was a bit slow even though the book was interesting overall. Therefore, I'm giving this 4.5 stars out of 5.
