Parable of the Sower, Octavia Butler

 

Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler.  I was looking at books that are considered classic and I have never read anything by Butler, so I decided to try this one.  Parable of the Talents was better received, but this book was written first and seems to be needed for Parable of the Talents to make sense.

Review:

I just couldn't take the murder and mayhem any longer.  I listened to this book for over 5 hours and I liked the writing, the characters were compelling.  The endless dying in gruesome ways became too much for me to take.
