Search - Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus

3 1/2 stars: this book was recomended to me because I really enjoyed Michael Crighton's Time line. So while I was rivited by that book I was pleasantly entertained by this book. While it does deal with sci-fi past, present, future, issues it was simply not fast pace enough for my taste. I read a wide variety of books but the common thread of those I really enjoy is the fact I can not put them down. Unfourtunatley I could easily set this book down.

I love Orsen Scott Card's writing. This one took me a little while to get into, but I loved it. In the story people are able to watch history. One person watches it backwards and sees the effect of an event, and is able to go back to the cause of the effect. It's a great idea. The story is good. I read it years ago. I still think of it often.

Fabulous OSC, unlike any of his other work.
