Fascinating study of two near-immortal characters. It tackles huge topics: life and death and slavery and genetics and home and taboo and right and wrong and good and evil and all the gray in between. Riveting. My introduction to Octavia Butler's work. I'm a little intimidated by what she is willing to do to her characters, but it was a powerful book, and I look forward to reading more.

Another powerful book from Octavia Butler. I hated Doro with a passion. Any book that brings out strong emotions in me I consider a very good book.
A great book
I couldn't finish this book.

Butler has such a capacity to evoke strong feelings in me. The main character in this book is a woman who doesn't sacrifice her caring for her strength.
I'm going to have to read the other books in this series, as always. ...more
