This is my third time reading Parable of the Sower, and the first time reading it in the graphic novel version. I love John Jennings work. The colors, line work, and overall style are vibrant. The illustrations really make the story come alive.

A dark dystopian graphic novel that makes me want to read the actual novel and then the sequel. It was a short read due to the format and the art is excellent. I’d say it’s for early teens and above due to the content.

It’s a dystopian theme so bad things happen. There are multiple views of murder and talk of rape.

Religious themes are also a strong aspect.
