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

challenging reflective sad slow-paced
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.0

A bit too spiritual/religious for me but I feel like the comments and take on society (post climate change / post-apocalyptic) were very realistic. Probably one of the most realistic dystopian novels I have ever read. Furthermore, I liked how it showed the importance of building up a community that works for each other, although I felt uncomfortable because of the age gap between the protagonist and the old man.
