Re: How do old books hold up?

DA

I was kind of meh on it, and I read it loooooooong before all the stuff about his political views came out (and I also went through the era of SF where we had to contend with Jerry Pournelle, who made Card look like the gayest rainbow boi who ever sashayed into a room, trust me), and the book was OK, but the whole idea of these immortals instantly stopping any kind of pain and suffering/reversing any injuries (and this was only revealed looooooong after the extensive setup of the world-building), didn't really appeal to me.

I also found the book to be derivative of both Wyndham (The Chrysalids) and Heinlein's Methuselah's Children, both of which I had read previously.

If it's the book I remember reading that may or may not be Ender's Game, then I remember being kind of confused about it, but I don't remember if that book was Ender's Game or not, so now I'm curious. |D

I'll try and get my hands on Wyndham and that Heinlein book, though, I don't think I've read either.

....I would avoid Methuselah's Children, at all costs. That's from the "second age" Heinlein, when he started to get really freaky. Definitely do read The Chrysalids, though, it's a short book, but by no means a light read.

I...have no idea what you're talking about. It kind of seems like you might be talking about a different OSC book.
