A review by smirm
Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler

3.0

For a book written in the 90s, it eerily depicts a life in 2024 that could easily become our reality. It took so long to read this book for that very reason. Too many moments were uncomfortable to get through in one sitting. Outside of the content, the characters were easy to connect to and visualize, but sometimes it felt repetitive. Though I am curious what happens next for the characters, I don't think I have it in me to go beyond book #1.
