Negative Positive
Title: Sadly disappointed
Review: I'm a Card fan and have been for decades. I love most everything he has written and re-read many of his books twice yearly. The Ender and Bean series, Songmaster, Alvin Maker, Treasure Box, The Lost Boys, Pastwatch, all are more than worthy of reading again and again and again. I even read Saints more than once and enjoyed it almost as much as the first read...and I'm not a Mormon.The Call of Earth series is incredibly boring. There is no other word for it. I forced myself through the first two books and about half of the third and then gave up. (I bought the entire set at once, simply because I had so loved his other works.) I'll never finish the series and have put the books into my 'Yard Sale' box of books I never want to read again.I have no idea why this is. Someone told me that 'Call' is the Book of Mormon redone in SF form and, if this is the case, perhaps Mark Twain was right.'Call' is "chloroform in print".
Is the review positive or negative?
