ahc 's review for:

Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler
4.0

“Change is ongoing. Everything changes in some way—size, position, composition, frequency, velocity, thinking, whatever. Every living thing, every bit of matter, all the energy in the universe changes in some way. I don’t claim that everything changes in every way, but everything changes in some way.”

Haunting, terrifying, astonishing. I read most of this book in one sitting and then stopped for a few days so I could savor the last few pages. It’s really great.
