I really enjoyed it as a whole... I am glad to have read it, but it was too dirty at points for me to recommend it. Not his greatest work, but an important one nonetheless. Disturbing and thought provoking.

    A wonderful collection of stories. This is a fine example of the brilliance of Orson Scott Card's early works. A recommended read for anyone who was impressed by his Ender Wiggin saga, or any of his other science fiction.

    The tone and steady unraveling of events keeps one turning the pages at an accelerated rate, devouring the book like a galactic dictator devours worlds. Orson Scott Card has made me a devotee of his books with this one, even more so than Ender's Game (if I am allowed to say such a thing).

    Poignant, almost painful to read, but definitely worth the effort. It is essentially an allegory of Christ and his suffering for his people.

    Another great read from Mr. Scott Card. There are some inconsistencies between the stories of the "Worthing Chronicle" and "Tales from the Forest of Waters" but they don't detract from the individual stories. I think there's still a huge amount of stories that can be told about Worthing World and I for one will be all too eager to read them.

    The worthing saga is a book about writing a book about Jason worthing's life. It changes from the past to the present.

    This a book rich in story and full of philosophy, metaphor, and the questioning the meaning of life in the context of science fiction.
