A review by hgullegrogan
Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler
3.0
The way OEB writes a romance between an 18 and 57 year old is very strange. In a matter of days, Bankole goes from disgust at Lauren's young age to asking for her hand in marriage. It's very weird and unnecessary.
In all, I feel that Lauren's age was a significant part of the story but her character's thinking and behavior (after leaving her gated community) wasn't in line with an 18 yo.
The story line was interesting at times, but I felt it was too on the nose with some of the commentary.
