Invasive Procedures Audiobook

" I love Orson Scott Card! This was a medical mystery, a different genre than he usually attempts but really fun and fascinating. I couldn't put it down. "

" I read for fun and usually not too critically so this review is simple. I enjoyed the subject matter. The story held my interest although I was aware that it was not written by Card but was an adaptation of his short story. So I went in with my eyes open and with few expectations which might be why I enjoyed it more than most. "

" I wish I had noticed that this was only co-written by Orson Scott Card. The story was interesting, but the writing was choppy and uneven. I felt like I could tell when a novice writer took over. The characters just OK. I didn't love or hate them. Still it was a fun summer read, but I can't recommend it. I read the Kindle version and I'm not sure if this problem is a problem in print form, but the editing of this book was horrible. There's nothing that pulls you out of a story worse than incorrect spelling or misplaced punctuation. "

" Ok read, I felt like the biology was a little too far fetched for me to get into the book as much as I would have liked. "

" its agood book, but its not one of mr. cards best. "

" I stopped reading this book about a third of the way in. I just could not get connected to the story. I was hooked by the first three or four pages, but the authors didn't stay with the point of view long enough for me to get connected with the characters before they started on a different piece of the story. This book is definitely not one I will keep in my library. "

" I'm not usually a sci-fi fan, but this was more a medical thriller and surprisingly good. "

" I liked this book because it was more about the characters and their challenges than the conspiracy itself. They were constantly faced with overwhelming challenges and it was fun to see them grow together in meeting the challenges. "

" Classic Card style... but I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't his standard plot. Good brain candy. "

" I had a lot of trouble getting past the scientific inaccuracies of this story. I think that Card is a wonderful writer, but Invasive Procedures is no Ender's Game. "

" A decent book and a quick read. The characters are a little shallow, but the plot moves quickly with no lingering over points the reader has already figured out. Overall, worth the time if you like Card's other work or need a quick and easy read. "

" quick read with thought provoking ideas about genes, dna, and our future health "

" Gave me an ulcer, but in a good way, ya know? Edge of my seat kind of thing. Really Good. "

" Kinda reminded me of The Incredibles for some reason. It's definitely action oriented and was written from a screen play. The writing wasn't the best, but the plot was interesting. "

" Interesting ideas in places, but it was clear to me that OSC did not do most of the writing and the characters were laughingly annoying. "

" Typical thriller stuff "

" Might make an OK action movie, but I don't think thrillers are really my genre. "

" I was disappointed that this book was not really written by Orson Scott Card. I thought the ending was a bit silly. "

" It seemed like this book was rushed to production. It was a good story. They could have developed the memory chip part of the story more. "

" I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. It's not like most of his usual ones--it is a thriller--definitely Hollywoodish and yet fun to read. I honestly didn't expect some of the twists. "

" I'm a nurse,and found the premise very interesting, and believable. "

" This was okay. I liked some things about it. Reading it while nauseous pregnant was probably not a good idea. "

" Not my favorite Orson Scott Card book, but I guess I shouldn't have expected his typical fantasy/sci-fi fare. Instead, this book was more like an old Crichton novel, just not as well-written or interesting. "

" Pretty good, decent plot, and good flow "

" If you've ever wondered, "What if I got an organ transplant against my will and then that organ began to take control of my body?" then this is the book for you. "

" Entertaining. Shallow characterization, but interesting plot. "

" Overall the plot was really well laid out and is the strength of the story. The characters were not always as consistent in character as an OSC narrative usually delivers. Something just wasn't quite right. "

" For a book, it was good. For an OSC novel, I was disappointed. "

" This was disappointing to me. There was something a little juvenile about the writing and storyline. I LOVE Orson Scott Card, but this book just didn't keep me interested. "

" meh. It was ok. Some bible swears...maybe?, no sex, some violence. "

" I abandoned this book after reading two thirds of it, and realizing I simply could not believe the plot nor the character motivations. "

" It was fast-paced and entertaining, but kind of unbelievable. It wasn't very predictable, though! "

" I'm a nurse,and found the premise very interesting, and believable. "

" Pretty interesting book. Nice one to read if you are bored. "

" It was a fast read, however the science behind it was rather far fetched. Not one of Card's best stories, but some what entertaining. "
