Prentice Alvin Audiobook

" still like this series and want to know where it goes. The way they talk can make it slow to read, but I feel invested in the characters. And things are starting to heat up! "

" I would give it 3.5 if I could. The ending is what is holding me back from giving it more. I thought for a moment this was the last in the series and it made me mad how it ended. Now that I know there are more in the series I will read and re-evaluate. It just felt like a very abrupt ending to me. "

" Great book, I'm really loving this series. "

" Kinda meh, not bad. If you loved the first two read it, but don't expect much. The whole golden plow thing at the end wasn't very fleshed out and didn't have a lot of reasons for it (from the characters perspective, I get what the Author was trying to do with it). "

" Good, but melodramatic. Alvin completes his apprenticeship with Makepiece Smith the smith at Hatrack River where Alvin was born. The torch Peggy arranges a path toward her and Alvin's futures. There is a lot about slavery and evil whites. A big flaw is the character of Peggy, idealized almost out of existence. The Peggy narrator, with a mawkish presentation, made it worse. "

" Card gets into some more mature themes. Nothing inappropriate, just difficult realties of human behavior. "

" I love this series. All the books are really good, but I like 1 & 3 the best. Card blends Fantasy and Early American History so well that it almost seems like things might have actually been that way. "

" Alvin Miller's life becomes enmeshed with a country schoolteacher and the child of a runaway slave as he is marked for destruction by the Unmaker. Still most satisfying fiction. "

" Probably the best one so far. "

" I just couldn't face another one. The religious parallels got just to sickeningly blatant. "

" Part of the Alvin Maker series. A great read. In pioneer times everyone has a talent, or magical ability. a great book. "

" I am loving this series. I really like how this particular book in the series brings Peggy into the foreground. "

" Alvin's apprenticeship as a blacksmith, but it is also his apprenticeship as a Maker. Very good story, but a little to graphic right at the beginning. "

" The third and so far the best in the Alvin Maker series. I couldn't help reflecting on my own baptism experience as Alvin remakes Arthur. This is some brilliant writing and storytelling. "

" An excellent edition to the series with some of the best plot elements. "

" WATCH OUT. Uncut type scenes not okay for young readers! "

" I really enjoy this series. "

" my favorite of the series, with Alvin growing into his power. "

" A little padded at times, but Card can tell a good story. "

" It was amazing! I couldn't put it down. I was to stuck inside the book to write down all the wonderful quotes and thoughts I found inside of it. So while reading, make sure you get a pen, paper, and maybe a snack close by so that you'll be ready. "

" I just really like Orson Scott Card's writing. This story is a little strange but I keep reading because I love the character development. "

" So glad to be finally reading this series.... On to the next! "

" I love how this book continued to build on Alvin's development. Yet, Card doesn't turn him into superman. "

" Can't wait to read the next one. "

" great series, original story in my opinion "

" Alvin Miller discovers he has incredible powers for creating and shaping things around him.A recurring and main theme of the books is the conflict between Creators and Destroyers—namely, Making such as Alvin does, and Unmaking that he confronts. "

" I just couldn't face another one. The religious parallels got just to sickeningly blatant. "

" The third and so far the best in the Alvin Maker series. I couldn't help reflecting on my own baptism experience as Alvin remakes Arthur. This is some brilliant writing and storytelling. "

" I almost didn't get past the first chapter of this book but it did get better. If it wasn't part of a series, I wouldn't have bothered, but I'm still intrigued by Card's use of symbolism and LDS references in trying to create an American mythology. "

" Nice story. Orson Scott Card is a great storyteller. Historial fiction style with a magical twist "

" This one was harder to read than the others. Some hard to read scenes of gore and rape. Still a really great story. "

" great story, as always I enjoyed Card's character development. Took some unexpected turns but it was all the more exciting for it. Really interested in the rest of the series. "

" awesome. osc writes always so good "

" This was nice. Card has such a lovely way with the colloquialism of the world he has created in Tales of Alvin Maker. Touching on African magic along with the magic of the Maker, Card writes a very philosophical story with Bunyanesque overtones in his tale of the iniquities of slavery. "

" Worth reading. Not as good as 7th Son, and not nearly as good as Red Prophet. For some reason OSC seems obsessed with breasts in this book; I'm not sure what to make of that. "
