Well, let me start this by saying that I am onl 13yrs old. I started reading Orson Scott Card about a half a year ago. Since then I have read Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow,Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, Enchanted,Lost Boys,Treasure box, Seventh Son, and I am reading the Worthing Saga right now..((The Worthing Saga..Kinda Boring...))

I also must say that I hate you Orson Scott Card. Of course I doubt you will read this but if you ever do, I just want you to see that I despise you.This is why: Ever since I started reading your books, The first one Ender's Shadow, I would take it and make it my favorite book, But the problem was that since I read your books so constantly that I could never deside, Thus started an even more confused mind, And now an even bigger war with my "little voices" are going on..It is all your fault..for making your books so good..And I HATE HATE HATE you for it..

Any way, Besides saying how good your books are, and besides saying how much I hate you, I wanted to tell you that you had 3 errors that I found, Two were in Shadow Puppet's and one in The Worthing Saga, That is right, A 13 year old founf mistakes in your book. Well accually I don't like to think of it like that, You are a better writer then I will ever be, So why should I say I am better for a few errors, Besides the error in The Worthing Saga is the only one that I am sure is a error, The two in Shadow Puppets might be something I haven't learned in 8th grade grammer, Well here they are: In The Worthing Saga, p14,Read untill you find this phrase, Maybe you can figure out what is wrong,"Sir?" whispered Lard, Hmm for those of you who read this book, What could it be? Anyway, the other two I saw in Shadow Puppets are:Blah..I didn't mark it on Shadow Puppets, I have been writing this on the top of my head, I can't find it, When I do I will Post a reply to this and tell you,..Sorry, I will try to find it soon. By tghe way, The errors are on the same page, I believe

Well, That is about All I can say, When I thought about it I thought this would be a lot longer, Well I was gonna tell you , Reader, How I got into the books..Why bore you futher? I don't know either, If anyone wants to Talk, Email me at:Sky14813@aol.com

Bye.

I am 14yrs old.

My opinion: Card is the best writer ever. I read Enders game and got hooked. I have since read Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, and Speaker for the Dead and have bought Xenocide and Children of the Mind. He thinks the way I do. But my vocaburlary is that of a 2nd grader compared to him. One part of his books that I really liked was in Ender's Shadow. At one point Card puts the reader in the mind of a madman and justifies his actions. That is the chapter where your are listening to Achillie's thoughts and you listen to the (what seems like) logic of a madman. But then you think..Achilles is really mad. He is not doing the world a favor by killing his foes.
