Review title: Card's Folley: "The Lost Boys" should have remained lost...
Product review: A constant loving fan of OS Card's work, I was disgusted at this work. This piece feels like his first attempt in high school at a manuscript. This would be the one he threw away, not the one he turned in. It concerns a family which has moved to a new place; Father has a new job, son starts acting strange, playing with kids who arent there, Children start turning up missing, etc. Card tries to twist and turn the plot to point at different characters: a overly strict school teacher, a strange neighborhood boy with a twisted sense of religion, etc, but these plots are cheap and not well thought out; I was almost insulted and kept returning to look at the cover to make sure the author was not some one else. The ending was the best, but only because it was the ending. I rated the book a '2', only because I saw the original manuscript to "Plan 9 from outer space". It got the '1'. - Bob Meads
