Really shows its age, but still a page turner.

definitely on my list of must-read books

For a lover of libraries and reading, this is a fun tale.

Learned a lot listening to this. Great primer for someone who hasn't learned much about genetics before.

Reads like an origin story (a horrifying one) for a cool new super hero.

Fun and short. I could see quite enjoying this when I was younger as well.

Really enjoying Akin's perspective in this story. Looking forward to Imago.

As a software engineer, and Numberphile fan, I found this to be quite a fun read.

2021-07-05: 2nd reading: absolutely loved this book. Maybe because I've already read the series and that made it far less confusing this time, or I was just in the right mood this time. For whatever reason, really enjoyed this book.



2018-08-13: Original reading: Needlessly confusing language about ships and titles, so much so that I almost stopped reading. But then I missed the story so picked it up again via audiobook, and loved it overall. Still think I don't totally understand what a "justice", "mercey" is.

This series is amazing. I wish I could read what Butler would've produced for Parable of the Trickster

Good story ending. The writing really shows its age and the era it was written in, but still wasn't too bad and I'm glad I read it.
