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

4.0

This was challenging to say the least. I found myself putting it down and just being like .....yikes. it's interesting to read speculative dystopian literature that's not at all futuristic. It's also a little haunting that Butler imagines a ravaged climate and the hellhole that she did and it not feeling completely unreasonable. 

The way the horrors were just dryly presented makes complete sense in context, but as a reader I was 😨
