Very interesting book. Grips you but leaves you wishing the moralizing had been toned down a bit

I loved "Ender's Game", and I thought I would try another book by Orson Scott Card. "Seventh Son," which is the first in a series, is good, but not as good as "Ender's Game." Card creates an alternate frontier history for America, where folk magic is part of everyday life. The main character is the seventh son of a seventh son, which automatically gives him special magical powers. It is interesting to watch magic intertwined with the frontier we all think of as down-to-earth and conventionally religious.

Generally a good series by Orson Scott Card. Enough of the writing that makes him unique to pull you through the series. Start with "Ender's Game" if you have never read Orson Scott Card.

The first book in the Alvin Maker series. A young child of extreme potential is born. But who will claim him, the forces of evil or good? And which does his father really belong to? Great read.

This is one of my all-time favorite books. Its a nice short novel, but extremely entertaining. A very interesting concept, handled by an extremely talented writer. Card is awesome with character development. You feel for and with each character. Seriously, you should be reading this right now!
