Until I read this book, I always thought the sci-fi genre was not for me because I find stories about faraway space aliens difficult to chew. This book is so solidly grounded in the black female experience that it feels almost surreal, a wholesome experience. I thank Butler for introducing me to Afrofuturism.

The best "post-apocalyptic" story I've ever come across. So good, it puts most of the others to shame. Also just a great story on its about community, religion, and how to believe in and work for a better world. I wish it was recommended reading in school.

Took a while, but finally finished it. It was pretty emotionally taxing at times, but worth it.

One of those stories I re-read from time to time to process some feels.

If you liked Tear Along The Dotted Line, you will love this.

I don't know how universal Zerocalcare's story of growing up around the turn of the century in a kind of terrible school is, but it really resonated with me. Zero makes masterful use of the comic format, each moment is communicated in such an immersive way.

The best kind of autobio comic.

Profound and often funny at the same time, it taught me more about beliefs than 18 years of religious education did.

ps.: The Hungarian translation I could get my hands on is pretty good, with only one noticeable translation error.
