This is a little painful. Dana can't let Rufus die because it could mean her own future death but the idea of settling into a pattern of slavery, the humiliation, the whippings, the rapes and subsequent children, the threat of being bought and sold at will, constantly being called nigger... Ugh. It's too much.

It is obvious that this is one of Butler's earlier works. The language is less refined and the story doesn't read as smoothly. It took me a little while to settle into the tale, which by the way jumps off into action pretty quickly, due to the use of language. Nevertheless I'm enjoying Kindred immensely.
