I'm liking "A Necessary Being" a lot more than I did when I originally read it less than a year ago. The story is a little long but I like the social hierarchy that Butler created with these aliens. I originally gave this book 3 stars, I'm going to give it 4 stars.

This is a collection of two short stories by Ocative E. Butler. The first is "A Necessary Being" and the second is "Childfinder". I enjoyed "Childfinder" but I did not enjoy 'A Necessary Being". I just found ANB to be very borning and drawn out, this is the first time I've felt this way about any of Bulter's works.
