sydls 's review for:

Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler

dark sad medium-paced

---

This book is a miserable yet important read. While I am probably a better person for reading it, I wish I hadn't. Some thoughts;
-I read it in one go because I knew I would never touch it again
-I'm a little bit mad at my friends who recommended I read it
-Someone please tell Becky Chambers I need a hug.
