This is my second time reading Clay's Ark by Octavia E Butler but this is my first time writing a review for it. The first time around I gave it 4 stars, I loved the suspense and the thriller elements of this book so much. This time around I'm keeping my rating the same at 4 stars. I'm not giving this 5 stars though because of the violence in the book.

Octavia was going THROUGH IT when she wrote this book! if you're unable to handle gore - like me - I suggest reading this with cautious eyes.
