Book Review: 4 Stars Because I Like Octavia Butler
Summary: 4 Stars
I like Octavia Butler. I pretty much like anything she's written and I am sad she died last year. I've been looking forward to reading this book for a while. It's very easy to get into and the characters are quite likable. I had some reservations about the meeting between Shori and Wright early on but it was explained well later.
That said...I did enjoy the book but I have that Chinese food feeling about it. It just left me wanting more. What happens next? How does Shori proceed with re-educating herself? Does she successfully manage to set up a household and resurrect the Matthews name? How do Wright and Joel manage? How do Celia and Brook manage? Does she become the potent ally Joan Braithwaite believes she will?
I know that with the death of Ms Butler those questions won;t get answered. Or at least not for some time if someone gets hold of any notes she may have left.
Anyway, it's an excellent read, just...vaguely unsatisfying due to the "unfinished" feeling.
