Summary: Great Stories From Orson Scott Card
Comment: Listening to this work by Orson Scott Card is wonderful... you get a great Card tale several times a day. The stories are short, great, to the point, and excellently read. It was interesting to hear the short version of "Ender's Game" from its originally printed form. There were some other favorites that I had picked up in there, like "The Porcelain Salamander," which is a fascinating story I had read in another collection of his.

I found these stories interesting. Sure, there was one or two I didn't care for all that much (or, possibly, didn't understand) but on the whole I'm glad I picked this series up. But this does seem to span several different genres, not just science fiction which is Orson Scott Card's main forte.

I would highly recommend this to anybody who loves a good audio book. And, remember in life's battles: "The Enemy Gate is Down!!"

Summary: Card is incredible!
Comment: I don't know what it is about Orson Scott Card -- Before I ever read him, I was prepared to not like him. I'd heard that he was a science fiction writer and that genre isn't a favorite of mine. However, my opinion now is that Card ranks as one of the absolute best and most skillful authors alive today. He has an amazing ability to get inside the person or circumstance he is writing about and make it into something that anyone could understand and be proundly moved by.

In addition, he comes up with some of the most fascinating ideas for a story. The title piece, 'The Elephants of Posnan', is one example. Although there is no doubt that Card wasn't suggesting that the premise of this story is truth, it still left me mulling the entire piece over and over again. He makes such a moving and brilliant case for something entirely bizarre, and insightfully comments on the nature of man in the process. 'The Elephants of Posnan' was positively spellbinding, beginning to end.

I love this collection. Orson Scott Card is a true master of his craft.

Summary: A master storyteller at work.
Comment: In this collection not only are you exposed to Orson Scott's Card's mastery of fiction, but you gain some insight into his creative process as well, thanks to the author's commentary on certain pieces.
The various storys are a joy to listen to and range from science fiction to fantasy, from psychological thriller to love story.
Whether you're a die hard Ender Series fan, a general fan of Card's, or a first time listener to the whole audiobook genre, there's something here you'll cherish.
