Keeper of Dreams: Volume 2: In the Dragon's House and Other Stories Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This was a really interesting collection of short stories from Card. Some were better than others, but to me, the most interesting of all were the "Mormon" stories at the end of the book. Maybe I liked these as much as I did because I know they have almost no chance of ever being published in the Ensign, depicting some of the flaws in LDS (especially Utah-LDS) culture, and people trying to deal with them. "

" There were some great stories in this anthology. And despite being by the same author, there was enough variety that it did not feel repetitive. I liked the science fiction stories much more than the fanstasy stories, but I am not sure why. The small section of Mormon stories at the end were also quite interesting--there is a whole subculture there that I know almost nothing about. I also really liked the short bit after each story, giving some background on the idea/context/etc. "

" Technically, I did not read the WHOLE book. This book is a series of short stories and I read almost all of them. The ones that I left out were stories I had read before, or Christmas ones. Since we're in the middle of June, I wasn't really in the mood to read a couple of Christmas stories. But, since I read the vast majority of the book I feel that I can leave a small review. That being this was a great book, full of stories that can be read in one to two sittings. These stories range from the recently written all the way to the very beginning of Orson Scott Card's career. I'd recommend this book to almost anyone... "

" This was an excellent collection of Orsen Scott Card's writing and his skills/range as an author. I loved the Sci-Fi stuff (which should be a shocker for some) and the fantasty was fun. His short stories about LDS culture was interesting and thought-provoking. Great read. "

" A collection of wonderful short stories by one of my favorite Science Fiction Authors - Orson Scott Card "

" Not bad. All the stores were written by Orson Scott Card, not just edited or complied as some Sci-Fi short story collections I've read lately where his name was figured prominently. The stories were definitely a cut above and what I really appreciated was the author's personal note at the end of each story giving a little background on it and/or what inspired it. Some were excellent, some were good, and there was only one I didn't bother finishing. "

" I was very emotionally touched by this and all the little stories within it.:) "

" Not all of them are the best, but quite a few are wonderful. "

" Interesting mix of Sci Fi, Fantasy and Fiction stories. "

" This collection is good, especially "The Elephants of Poznan." I skipped most of the Mormon stories toward the end, though. "

" Not only were the stories fun and interesting, but reading the author's thoughts about each one was also fascinating and informative. "

" This is a very good short story collection that shows many sides of the author and offers a glimpse into his views of economics, religion, and politics. I enjoyed it thoroughly. "

" Loved The Elephants Of Poznan, was very beautiful and haunting. "

" I had already read about half of the stories in this book, but I think they were the better half. My favorites were Homeless in Hell and Missed, I think. "

" Excellent book. I enjoyed the stories and the dialog he gave afterward. I'd like to see more authors tell what made them think or their ideas of a story at the time. "

" Not as thought provoking as the collection of stories in "Maps in a Mirror", but I liked most of the stories well enough. "

" I'm happy to travel with Alvin again; there's some good stuff in here, plenty of it is new to me. I enjoyed reading the author's notes included with most of the stories. "

" I wasn't expecting to like OSC short stories, but I did. I just wish they were longer. I love his explanations that accompany each one, and his last section on Mormon culture is all to true! "

" some interesting short fiction with comments by the author. No ender stuff sadly. "

" These were mixed. Some would be four star, some two. "

" Many thought provoking stories, not all of them scifi, some historically based fiction, with characters in another series I haven't read before. "

" Fantastic collection of short stories. He's traditionally a sci-fi author, but there's more than sci-fi in here. Every story is captivating. "

" This is a collection of short stories. I really enjoyed the earlier ones on fantasy/sciFi/Hatrack river. "

" This book was a great introduction to Orson Scott Card and his writings. I loved his insights and public satire that he includes so fluidly into his writings. "

" I enjoyed nearly every story in this book. "
