For Card fans, a let down

As an Orson Scott Card fan from way back, I have enjoyed his other forays into the graphic novel genre (e.g. Red Prophet and Iron Man), but Wyrms disappoints on many levels. Based on an older Card work (before he really found his voice in my opinion), Wyrms is the story of a journey of a female...

Graphic novel, not a real Book

I bought Wyrms along with two other novels, and was suprised to recieve a comic book (Graphic Novel). I prefer real novels, but read it anyway, it only took 40 minutes. I do like OSC and own many of his books. This is not a bad story, but I wish that it had been listed as a graphic novel...

One of the best sci-fi books around.

Card is undoubtedly better known for his Ender series, yet I can't help but feel that Wyrms is a stronger example of science fiction, and of what Card can do as a writer. It deftly manages to give equal time to "soft" and "hard" elements, which should satisfy readers of either type of sci-fi....

Fantastic Fiction KYA

This is my favorite Card story. Oh very clever, and philisopical. Sort of a Nietzschean perspective with a lot of neo-scientific (Skinner/Pavlov) thrown in. No character in this book has any human failings other than their "strengths" (remember that your greatest strength may be your greatest...

Wyrms

Loved it. It is an remarkable journey about self-control, saving the world, and the price it takes from all to triumph over evil for the greater good.

Heavy-handed

This would be a much better read if you ignored all the heavy-handed allegory about mastering your passions with your will and controlling your desires so that they can be sublimated into the fabric of community and the act of marriage, blah, typical Card stuff, and just read it as a story about...

just 'coz this is about a kid doesn't mean it's written for kids!

Without recounting the plot which has been summed up by other reviewers, this book is interesting because for a change the hero is a girl. On the whole Card's heroes have two main characteristics: 1)possess some rare talent which has been honed to perfection though training 2)they are thrust...

The Immaculate Conception of the Spotless Mind

This book is not the ussual Card book. It is a simple and interesting interpretation of the immaculate conception and the building blocks of christianity as projected by Card on the Age of Space Travel.Card, who likes to touch major ethical questions in Theology (Ender's role in the universe as...

I loved this book many years ago and still do

Though I thought it might be too strange to recommend to women who were not SciFi fans I did anyway and was pleasantly surprised that they did not find it gross. There were many fine points to this book and the many different names of the characters gave more texture to their actions (Will,...

That's Card for you...

Though it is true that this book is rather...disturbing in context, with regard to the whole humans-mating-with-insect-like-lifeforms idea, Wyrms is another (in my opinion) good SF book from Card that simply is marred by several small flaws, one of which is, yes, the mating disturbance. Another...
