Parable of the Sower: A Graphic Novel Adaptation by Octavia E. Butler, Damian Duffy
4.0

Incredibly depressing and chaotic with a crisp narrative voice. Laura embodies the struggle of being a teenager with ideas and concerns but struggling to be heard by adults and others around her. She is at an age where she’s questioning everything like her belief in God and her survival. I generally hate dystopian settings, but this one was so immersive and realistic that I couldn’t put it down. Personally, I didn’t care for the art style.
SN: About Bankole...
um sir, why did you wait until after you had sex with Lauren to ask about her age? It never occurred to him to ask BEFORE? I guess dick too hard to think or whatever >.>


This is story is very bleak and brutal, so I would only recommend this for mature teens.
