Parable of the Sower (2000)

I am going to start this review off by asking a theoretical question. There is a huge wave coming, it will wash you and everyone you love out to see. What do you do? Do you back up away from the water? Move to higher ground? Build a boat to ride it out? Or do you turn your back on it, play o...

Book

Kindred (2004)

SpoilersKind of engrossing but not in an enjoyable sort of way, the main characters were far too unlikeable and frustrating to fully enjoy the story, everything they said and did irked me in some way or another. On the plus side, the premise, the setting, and certain secondary characters managed ...

Wild Seed (2001)

Sometimes you find something amazing in the most random ways. I first discovered Octavia Butler while waiting in a mall. I haven't really been a mall person since I was about 17, but it was Christmastime, and I suppose malls are unavoidable. While listening to a band play holiday tunes in the ...

Fledgling (2007)

*** this review has spoilers that will do irreversible damage to those who have not read the book, is long, and is, i'm afraid, rather academic in tone, because i just think that way. be warned. ***Fledgling opens with a birth scene of sorts. a little girl (we don’t yet know that she’s a little g...

Bloodchild and Other Stories (2005)

Parable of the Talents (2001)

After loving Parable of the Sower (see my review) I was frustrated by this one. No the 1st wasn't flawless, but for 2/3 of its length it was nearly so. This one, on the other hand, is more defective than perfect, and despite a brilliantly realized, realistic dystopia -- an all-too-rare feat tha...

Book

Clay's Ark (1996)

At first I expected Clay's Ark to have more ... human interest? for me than Mind of My Mind.Both novels concern a sort of new development for humanity -- Mind of My Mind has people with psychic abilities who are gaining power by working as a group, and Clay's Ark has an isolated set of people inf...

Book

Imago (1997)

The last volume of the mind blowing, thought provoking Lilith’s Brood series (I prefer the original name Xenogenesis myself, it has a nice sci-fi ring to it).Jodahs the protagonist of this book is another offspring of Lilith Iyapo. The least human of the series' central characters, especially aft...
