Rating: 4 out of 5

Comments: I love Orson Scott Card. He is one of my all-time favorite authors. I love his characters, who are always real people with flaws, but always identifiable. He combines fantasy with reality in such a way that it is believable, and this book is no exception. The story is eerie without being disturbing (Lost Boys was disturbing to me), and exciting without a whole lot of action. This book isn't at the very top of my list of OSC books, but I really enjoyed it and would recommend it.
