lmkennedy 's review for:

Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler
4.5
challenging dark emotional reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

 found this book extremely difficult to read because it is so easy to see our country becoming what this is. It was like doubled in difficulty by the main character sharing my name, it made it feel even more real to me somehow. 

The portions of this on religion were interesting but not really something I cared for a ton, I struggle to find realism in a 15-16 year old drafting their own religious text.
