Review of 'Parable of the Sower: A powerful tale of a dark and dystopian future' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

I'm not the biggest dystopian fan and find that it's all a bit repetitive. If I'd read this before other similar books I suspect I'd hold it in higher regard. The characterisation, their interactions, and the discussion of how to create a new world certainly elevate it above a book simply about the state of the world and a journey to (relative) safety.
