Title: Too much Scott Card
Review: Orson Scott Card is definitively a great story teller. But from my point of view he has three kind of books:1 - When he writes as his characters. He is great when he does it. "Ender's Game" and "Songmaster" are the best Scott Card I've read.2 - When he is inspired by other books. "The Worthing Saga" is the main example of this situation. It's a great story, it's well told but yet when you read it, you may feel like you already knew it.3 - When he is too much of himself. "Homecoming" series are the main exponent of this. It's like he is trying to convince you about something instead of telling a story.Red Prophet is an example of type 3. The first book is quite better and between types 1 and 3.It is worth the money you pay for it, but is not gonna change you. You may agree or you may not, but won't change your life what is what you really expect from reading.
