- Orson Scott Card is the author of the novels Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, and Speaker for the Dead, which are widely read by adults and younger readers, and are increasingly used in schools. His most recent series, the young adult Pathfinder series (Pathfinder, Ruins, Visitors) and the fantasy Mithermages series (Lost Gate, Gate Thief, Gatefather) are taking readers in new directions.
Besides these and other science fiction novels, Card writes contemporary fantasy (Magic Street, Enchantment, Lost Boys), biblical novels (Stone Tables, Rachel and Leah), the American frontier fantasy series The Tales of Alvin Maker (beginning with Seventh Son), poetry (An Open Book), and many plays and scripts, including his "freshened" Shakespeare scripts for Romeo & Juliet, The Taming of the Shrew, and The Merchant of Venice.
Card was born in Washington and grew up in California, Arizona, and Utah. He served a mission for the LDS Church in Brazil in the early 1970s. Besides his writing, he teaches occasional classes and workshops and directs plays. He frequently teaches writing and literature courses at Southern Virginia University.
Card currently lives in Greensboro, North Carolina, with his wife, Kristine Allen Card, where his primary activities are writing a review column for the local Rhinoceros Times and feeding birds, squirrels, chipmunks, possums, and raccoons on the patio.

Ender's Game (The Ender Quintet) Tekijä: Orson Scott Card
Well, I'm not the target audience for this book. It was fun, but kinda annoyingly simplistic in places, particularly in Ender's perfection (and it was difficult to believe that no-one would have had the same insights he had that allowed him to win). Although I was at times slightly worried about the fascist overtones of the book, in the final analysis I thought it presented the moral ambiguities and difficulties clearly, but still subtly. I won't rush to read the other books, but wouldn't avoid them either.… (lisätietoja)
3 stars, 4 stars... It's a fun superhero comic - don't expect too much more than that.
One thing I find really interesting about 'mainstream' superhero comics (I put 'mainstream' in quotes, as only in the world of American/UK comics can 'mainstream' mean the genre of stories about vigilantes in garish costumes) is how the backstories of long-established characters morph over time. Little small changes are thrown into the mix, some fall away, and some survive to become part of the canon.
The Ultimates universe kinda differs from that process as these stories are deliberate reinterpretations of the characters, but it is interesting to see what they keep and what they change. I _think_ that the Ultimates themselves have had a significant influence on the Marvel Films, and those in turn will influence the canonical line of Marvel comics. Probably less so with Ultimate Iron Man (particularly this volume, dealing, as it does, with Tony Stark's early life), but the comics are still a good, quick, diverting read.… (lisätietoja)

This book is more than your typical time-traveling novel. When you read this book, you're transported into new worlds just like the characters, and it's just as strange and exciting and overwhelming for you-the reader-as it is for them. Card holds back nothing as he painfully reminds us why no one should ever want to live in medieval Russia...or medieval anywhere. But in-between all of the gritty details and Ivan's awkwardness, there's a sweet love story and a gripping adventure as our heroes battle with their wits against Baba Yaga.
I don't read a lot of fantasy because it's difficult for me to get invested in a world with its own rules for magic and physics. This book is no exception. It's pretty in-depth, but that's also why it works. Card is relentless in making sure readers understand his world and what makes his world so unique. Everything is so well-thought out from the plot to the characters to the folk ties to the magic system. If you're a die-hard fantasy reader, you MUST read this book. You will love it.
The reason I couldn't give this five stars was because it just wasn't my cup of tea. It's well-executed, but all of the explanations about how magic works just takes me out of the story. That said, someone else will probably still love it.

Average continuation of the last three books with an above average climax that fades into a typical happy ending. Wish the last book would come out already
