Not the only one

Sunday I finished reading Orson Scott Card's latest work: Shadow of the Giant. It took me quite some time to get my emotions under control. Talking out my random thoughts with her helped a lot, too.

I'm not the only one to feel a powerful emotional response to Card's book. John C. Snider's review at scifidimensions.com states:

"And it's not all dry politics punctuated with high-tech bloodshed. First and foremost, Shadow of the Giant is introspective and emotional - the last quarter of the novel is as tear-jerking a denouement as you're likely to read in a science fiction novel."

It has been a long time since I've had an experience like that.

Thanks, cousin.
