Maps,
By A Customer
This review is from: Changed Man (Mass Market Paperback)
Excellent!! I have come to expect great stories from Card, and this didn't disappoint me. I found 'The Changed Man and the King of Words' the best, but they are all incredible. I recommend making a full collection of Card's work.No one else has mentioned it, so I will: this book is a section in Maps in a Mirror.

This review is from: Changed Man (Mass Market Paperback)
The copy I have says on the back that this is a collection of stories that all deal with the feeling of "dread". And even though I KNEW that, I still felt it, in every single story. Oh my god, where is he going with this? Or, worse: Oh my god I think I KNOW where he's going with this and I REALLY don't want it to go there... And I read them all together, in a couple days I'd finished the book. And even during the last story, I was still dreading what would happen on the next page. I didn't get used to it. I didn't feel disassociated from what I was reading. Card can really get under your skin, you know?

Classic Card,
By Antigone (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Changed Man (Mass Market Paperback)
So the rating system isn't exactly fair. It's hard to judge a whole book of short stories. All are good. Most are VERY good. A few are exceptional. For example, the Changed Man and the King of Words. Of all the OSC short stories I've read (and I freely admit that I haven't read them all YET) this one was probably the best, sharing the #1 position with Dogwalker (in a different book). Then again, there may have been a little Classic/English-anti-science-major brought out by the story, but that only made, for a me, a great story greater. I don't actually think that's possible, but hey, it's my review. Either way, find yourself someone selling this book used and buy it, it's worth way more than I paid for it :)
