reviewed Lilith's brood by Octavia E. Butler (Xenogenesis, #Omnibus)

Octavia E. Butler: Lilith's brood (Paperback, 2000, Aspect/Warner Books) 4 stars

Wraps its tentacle around your neck

4 stars

I read through it much faster than I expected. It really gripped me and I kept on reading page after page.

I'm torn between recognizing the Human Contradiction as being so painfully true and on the other hand also sympathizing with the Resisters. Argh, what to do, what to choose!

If you're looking for a truly alien concept this is your book. It takes mastery to mesh the alien with the human and weave a coherent and relatable story.
