A review by isanwhittaker
Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler
adventurous
emotional
reflective
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.75
What I liked about the book:
- Octavia Butler's writing style
- the futuristic aspect of it/tge plot in general
- the diary entry format
- the way this was written in the 90's yet it's so realistic blows my mind
What I didn't like:
- the...flatness?... of the main character. I feel like she was very dry
- the ending was very anticlimactic. It just. Ended. I was expecting a big plot twist idk.
Honestly wish I could give this book 4 stars but the things I didn't like are actually very important things to me 😭😭
