A review by brendalovesbooks
Earthborn by Orson Scott Card
Did not finish book.
It's been a long time since I read the other books in this series. In fact, it was in June of 2003 that I read Earthfall (book 4 in the series). I honestly don't remember much about them, but according to my goodreads ratings, I really liked them a lot.
I couldn't even finish this one. I think it's mainly because I didn't care for the story, but also contributing may be that I'm not LDS (and there is just so much in here that parallels the Book of Mormon, and it's too blatant to ignore), and also that I don't really like Card as a person. But I don't think that's really the problem. I can usually forget an author and how much I like or dislike them if I'm enjoying the story.
But, while reading reviews, I see that other people liked the other books and didn't like this one. So it probably really is a pretty crappy ending to a decent series. I've read about 200 pages, and I feel like I'm reading some scriptural account, and I'm just not interested. I'll be moving on to something else.
