Title: Very slow book that didn't make me care to read the sequels.
Review: This was the first book by Card I've read and considering how popular he is, I was disappointed. Even though I'm non-religious, I really didn't mind the religious parallels that some other reviewers mentioned, because I thought they were handled in a good and believable way. But I was disappointed with the story itself. It starts out very slow and never really takes off until the last couple of chapters. And then it leaves you with an ending that just sets the stage for the sequels. This wouldn't be a problem if "Memory of Earth" itself was an entertaining book that made you want to read the sequels, but it didn't make me want to do that. For the most part of the book, I wanted it to end so I could start reading something else.I wouldn't recommend "Memory of Earth" and it didn't really make me feel like reading any more Card. But who knows, I may give Ender's Game a chance since people say that's his best.
