Parable of the Sower

This was a dark, depressing novel. It's a dystopian tale of a future US where society has broken down, crime is rampant, and survival is tenuous. I could only read it in small chunks, a few chapters at a time at the most. Nonetheless, it was an excellent story about survival in a terrible time. I've seen some reviewers categorize this book as YA, and the prose somewhat reads as YA, but I think it's really a story for adults about a young person with a personal faith and the will to survive.
