Parable of the Sower

4.5 stars rounded up. I couldn't put this book down. It depressingly nails the particular dystopia we've created for ourselves in America, from 1993. Excited to read the sequel.

Knocked off half a point for the main character being a little too cool and competent, and for the pyro users which feel a bit one note “drug user evil killer cannibals” to me.
