Parable of the Sower

Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is one of those realistic apocalyptic books where you can imagine the world becoming this dangerous in just a few more years. When Lauren’s neighborhood is burned, she strikes out for the hope of a better life in the North. Along her travels she meets up with others who become an ad hot family and she shares with them her new religion, one she wants to spread to help mankind find their humanity again. It’s an interesting and thought provoking book, although I didn’t find anything in her religion that was revolutionary per se, just the good bits of moralizing. Interesting but not fascinating.
