Clay's Ark by Octavia E. Butler

0.0

Yep. You saw that right. 0 stars. I daresay this is probably the worst book I've read, and probably the worst I'll ever read. I feel sorry for anyone who has to read this for their studies. Why didn't I like it? Well, if graphic sex, rape, kidnapping, murder, and incest sound enjoyable to you, huzzah. I don't find those things enjoyable. I don't care how interesting the plot is, or how good the storyworld is, or how intriguing the moral dilemma is–the constant disgusting scenes overpowered everything, and made it impossible to enjoy anything. Seriously. How is writing like this okay, let alone praised? What has our world come to? I fear for the future.
