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

4.0

Okay, for me, I’ll admit I had no expectations going into this book - I hadn’t read any reviews or anything - and it still wasn’t what I expected it to be but in the best way possible. This book was published in 1993 & is set in 2024-2027. I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone that has yet to read this, however, the most mind blowing aspect of this novel to me is the fact that so many of the things that occurred in this book or that Octavia predicted, are current issues we are facing or will soon be facing if we don’t change our course of action. I stayed up late into the night rage reading this & immediately starting Parable of the Talents - this is a story that will truly stick with you.
