The Last Apprentice:Revenge of the Witch
A nice book in a different world. The main character, Thomas, is the classic 7th son of the 7th son. This obviously means that he is special and that he will achieve great hieghts. This also means that the story is somewhat predictable. Thomas travels with a spook, kind of like a medieval ghostbuster. The main conflict for the story is that Thomas tries to be the apprentice he spook master wants him to be. For the story, I would give it a 8/10.

The Lost Gate
The Lost Gate takes place in a world of our own, but some chapters feature another world where a different main caharacter is. These worlds are related yet the main character in either of the worlds never actually crosses over in the actual story line. Note that such chapters alternate previously stated alternate in the book. For one part of the story, the main character is Danny. He is a gatemage, a mage that can summon gates, or portals, at will. He was once part of the North family but has to flea where he refines his power. For the other part of the story, the main character is Wad. Only later in the story does the reader know him as Wad. Before, (Spoiler) he is the man in tree. I like the story line very much but like most of Orson Scott Card's novels, his ingenuity sometimes confused me at parrts of the story. As such I give The Lost Gate a 9/10

Ender's Game
A nice book that shows what the world would be like in the future. The threat of any other sentient life form is a good base for writing books. Although this base can be really over-used the possibilities can be anything which still makes it seem new and exciting. The plot is good but at times it was hard to follow. This means I give it a 9 out of 10.
