Enchantment Audiobook

" Since he's still working against gay marriage rights, I'm about as willing to give Orson Scott Card money as I am to give it to Chick-fil-a. Thank goodness the public library had this book, because it's so good! The protagonist kisses a sleeping princess and finds himself engaged to her in a rough-and-tumble village nine centuries ago. "

" Love OSC. This is a great book if you enjoy Fairy Tales. "

" This book was really wonderful. I am a big fan of the fantasy genre, but I'm not sure this book can even so easily be fit into one genre or another. There was definitely romance in it, but it was very modern and unlike any other romance I've read. It was realistic and all the things that disney Princess movies and modern romantic comedies are not. It was funny, entertaining, and very unique. "

" A very original re-telling of the firytale Sleeping Beauty "

" not bad, but didn't blow me away. "

" I absolutely love this book! One of my favorite Orson Scott Card's!!! Its so beautifully written and such a great story! Its one that I can read and reread "

" Just loved this book. Highly recommend for readers of urban fantasy. A perfect mix of reality and fantasy with a skillful blending of the two that carries the reader seamlessly from one realm to the next. The Russian fairy tale bits are truly inspired. Well worth the read. "

" A bit mind boggling...love this stuff "

" Fun to read. A modern fairytale with a Russian-like theme. I enjoyed it "

" Loved this. Very thoughtful. It was nice to read something more intelligently written than Twilight like YA novels but with the same romance, innocence, and adventure. "

" I really liked the premise of the story story and the cleverness of the plotweaving. It moved super slow, especially in the beginning- I kept reading not because I was enthralled but because this author has written other things that I've loved so much that I wanted to see it through. "

" Once I got past my dislike of Katerina (she gets better) I really enjoyed the book. "

" This is the most intellectually stimulating retelling of a fairy tale I've ever read. I loved the dip into Russian folklore and the believable points of view Card always gives his characters. "

" I should have read the whole description before I started. It is fantasy and that is not my favorite genre. I'm not going to finish. "

" An intriguing concept, but I found the narrative dragged in the middle mainly due to his style of retelling part of the story from another perspective. "

" Reread March 2012, I liked it but I am starting to get tired of all the inner monologue in OSC's books. Just act instead of explaining in many, many paragraphs why you are doing whatever you are doing. "

" It took me awhile to get pulled into the book but once I did I thought it was a good, fun take on sleeping beauty. "

" Card writes well. This just wasn't really my kind of story. Interesting though, I learned what the term "parchment" originally meant. "

" Once again one of my favorite story tellers tells a magical story. This book plays on the ides of all fairy tales, but blends it with real life. I was truly Enchanted and entranced. "

" I'm not particularly a fairy tale person but I liked Ender's Game so I wanted to read it. The story is interesting and although I know the story of sleeping beauty I didn't know what was going to happen next. I found the magic interesting. "

" very good, but definitely for adults. "

" This book I pondered for many days after reading it. There were some things I didn't like about it that I thought the author could have left out (if you've read it you understand what I mean) but overall I liked it. It was original and interesting. "

" Slow beginning and just a little hard to get into, but I eventually truly enjoyed this rich novel. Plenty of suspense, yet I could put it down. Sometimes it is nice to savor a good book. I'll leave it at that; the less you know about this story, the better. :-) "

" This was a great book to get lost in! "

" Fun to read. A modern fairytale with a Russian-like theme. I enjoyed it "

" Aaaa-mazing. I read this book about 6 years ago, and I still can't stop thinking about it. The way he takes old Russian fairy tales and folklore and makes them even more fantastical yet seamlessly and believably melded into a modern day tale...mind BLOWN. "

" Loved it ~ a fairy tale rework "

" 3.5 stars... This is my 2nd Orson Scott Card and they were so different from each other, but I enjoyed each one. Glad that I took the time to read it, not my favorite, but good. "

" Orson always makes a great story. "

" I really enjoyed this book. Card wove elements of his normal science fiction style into a fairy tale to create a unique story. Romance, time travel, magic...what more could ya want?Also, Russians. There were lots of Russians. I like Russians. "

" This book is one of the best books about family and how you have to take a risk in life every now and again. Enough said! I love this book!! "

" Couldn't quite get into it. Maybe when I have more time... "

" I loved this version of sleeping beauty! It combined the fairytale aspects of Disney with the other-worldliness of old Russian stories. When I got to the end, I was sad to see the blank pages! "
