I used to be a fan of the Enders Game series, but I think that with time the quality started going down. I think that Xenocide was the first stinker, and can't remember was came next, I'm not sure I finished that one. When did Card write Ender's Shadow? I read that a while back and was entertained, but not blown away.
I read a lot of Tom Clancy. I don't know, though, if my interest in his books has declined with my age and maturity, or if his talent is drying up. The Hunt For Red October and Without Remorse were awesome, but the Bear and The Dragon was like reading a Steven Segal movie- the good guys never even get dirty. I just picked up his newest book and I'll withhold judgement until I finish it.
Does anybody else feel the same way?
