.: The Parable of the Sower

» The Parable of the Sower, by Octavia Butler  
Good, not as good as I had hoped, but I will read another book by this author. [ 06.21.07 ]


Comments

I'd like to recommend the last novel Ms. Butler wrote before she died, "Fledgling". It's a modern twist on the vampire story, and I think it was the most engrossing of her books that I've read so far.

I felt the same way about The Parable of the Sower. She seemed to come so close to having a really great post-apocolyptic fable, but then missed the mark by bogging down in the set up of their new society.

I'd love to hear your comments.
