Martín reviewed Lilith's brood by Octavia E. Butler (Xenogenesis, #Omnibus)

Original y atrapante

4 stars

Me resultó atrapante desde un primer momento. Explora temas muy interesantes que no he visto en otras obras de ciencia ficción, y como todo lo que he leído de la autora, está muy bien escrito. Creo que es una historia muy transladable a una serie o una película. Esto puede ser bueno o malo, según cómo se lo mire.

Voy a seguir leyendo los libros de la saga, y voy a emitir un juicio más detallado una vez que lo haya hecho.

Wraps its tentacle around your neck

I read through it much faster than I expected. It really gripped me and I kept on reading page after page.

I'm torn between recognizing the Human Contradiction as being so painfully true and on the other hand also sympathizing with the Resisters. Argh, what to do, what to choose!

If you're looking for a truly alien concept this is your book. It takes mastery to mesh the alien with the human and weave a coherent and relatable story.

I really enjoyed the first book, the story of Lilith after the war and how she wake up in an alien ship and helped the aliens, against his will, to wake up others human to create a new improved race.

The second book, about his son, half human, half Oankali, it is interesting also. He threaten the Oankali decision of not allow humans breed. And he gives hope to humanity, even when then Oankali thinks that, in the end, the humanity is doomed to destruction.

The third book was less interesting for me, because it keeps talking about the same theme, about how bad the human beings are, how badly our society is built and how humanity is doomed to destruction. I find it hard to swallow that human beings are beyond hope, and that we are not able to learn to live in peace. I really agree in the …
