Criticism Appertaining To Books Lilith's Brood (Xenogenesis #1-3)

This is one of the scariest books I have read in a long time. Good science fiction, good posthuman fiction, challenges the idea of what it means to be human. Octavia E. Butler goes beyond that, way beyond, challenging not just what human means but how open-minded I am to such challenges. This book blew my mind.As a huge fan of science fiction, and as a relatively erudite person, I like to think that I have an open mind. I like to think that I'm receptive to the idea of drastically alternate

This series was fantastic! I can't wait to read some more Octavia Butler.

Octavia E. Butler has been on my radar for quite some timeas the first acclaimed African American and female science fiction writer, how could she not be? The book that's been on my list for ages was actually Kindred, but a friend suggested this series when I asked for dystopian/post-apocalyptic recommendationsalthough, after reading it, it's not at all what I'd been looking for, and I'd put it very firmly in the camp of post-human science fiction. I was sold immediately based on the title alone

This book is actually a trilogy: Dawn, Adulthood Rites and Imago. Ordinarily, I avoid trilogies because if I don't read them all at once I lose the thread and if I do read them all at once I'm bored by the end. I only give 5 stars to books that I think are something really out of the ordinary, and this is; not just for its genre (sci-fi), but for any fiction. I love being able to lose myself in a richly imagined world, and this book allowed me to do that. Ms. Butler's vision is expansive and at

A very enlightening and enjoyable read. Really makes you think about gender, relationships and just how far into the future humans will go.

I don't like rape or forced behavior in my books and what happened to these people is rape.how is drugging and sexually abusing the humans helping them? it makes no sense, and it made it so that they could not stand the touch of their humans mate. they were not given a choice, it's sick.Lilith forced it on her human mate, of course she was sexually active with three of the alien monsters. I would of cried no tears if she died.I care not what anyone says, what happened to them was rape because

If I could give half points, I would give this a 3.5. I do like the trilogy, but I wish I would have loved it more. The book definitely presents mind blowing concepts. And I have to hand it to her, Octavia Butler is the genius everyone says she is. The concept of the Oankali is the most unique fictional alien creation I have ever seen or read. I really enjoyed much of the first book. How she presents Lilith's awakening, this alien world, and the plans to reinhabit Earth is fascinating. Lilith's
