5.0 out of 5 stars The final tale is all you could have hoped for., Jul 3 2004

By	PyroMenace (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Children of the Mind (Mass Market Paperback)

Ender's Game entertained me, Speaker for the Dead educated me, Xenocide enthralled me, and finally Children of the Mind absolutely immersed me. I think by far this book beholds the best character development out of all of the books. Establishing great characters from Xenocide, you truly get to know, feel, and grow with the focused characters in the fourth book as they develop relationships both brutally and beautifully, confront the final fears that the series has built up to while also producing an amazing end to the Ender Wiggin Saga. The many sides of the tale are so well intertwined, that connecting with the characters and their emotions become so much more easier than what Card did previously. All the profound touches on religion and culture are all here, fantastically written by Card yet again. If the first three books have kept you enraptured, do yourself a favor and finish the amazing saga with Children of the Mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars no sLeEp for me, Jul 8 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Children of the Mind: The Conclusion of the Enders Quartet (Paperback)

i read it. in one night. and i read slowish. i have never read a more passionate (albeit rushed) book in my life. the deep dialouge, the character completion, just the mental images and scenes. the use of many cultures throughout the series....just beautiful.

2.0 out of 5 stars Inconsistent with Xenocide!, Jun 9 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Children of the Mind (Mass Market Paperback)

Ok, I just started on this book...but I noticed several ERRORS immediately!!!! FIRST: It says Jane will "die" once all the networked computers of the hundred worlds is turned off. WRONG! in Xenocide it says Jane WILL LIVE even without the computers, but she will be mentally crippled. SECOND: It says there are dozens of FTL starships now in use. HOW CAN THAT BE? In Xenocide it was clearly established that Jane can only take a ship OUTSIDE and back INSIDE IF...IF either Ender or the duplicate Peter or the duplicate Val were inside it! So how can there be "dozens of FTL starships in operation"???!!!!!! Ender has vowed never to go OUTSIDE again. That leaves the duplicates of Peter and Val. So how is it that suddenly dozens of FTL starships are in use????? What is Orson Scott Card thinking? Has he forgotten what he wrote in Xenocide?
