diana7011 's review for:
Parable of the Sower
by Octavia E. Butler
The story takes place in the year 2024, the West Coast of California. The United States and perhaps more countries have gone on times worse than the Great Depression of the 1930's. Water is at a premium, very few have motor vehicles and the majority of people have become the homeless, the street people who live by wits and everywhere there are guns and drugs. Murder, madness and mayhem run amuck and what little bit of safety becomes no safety at all. I thought it was a well written story, but a very dark subject and it really wasn't something I enjoyed reading. This was a tri-ology which because of the author's dead became two books but I don't have the desire to read more than this one.
