A review by papernapkin
Empire by Orson Scott Card

1.0

Orson is in over his head with this one. First, it was too short. You can't cover a subject like the 2nd American civil war from beginning to end in 350 pages: way to much "telling," not enough "showing." Second, it was too long. I dislike a book that feels like it's goal is to be made into a movie. Too many Hollywood one-liners and giant shooting robots, for me.
