5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy sequel to a fantastic beggining., 19 Sep 2005
This review is from: Red Prophet (The tales of Alvin Maker) (Paperback)
The second installment in young Alvin Miller's adventures is even more gripping, relentlessly exciting, imaginative and simply a wonderful story.

In this book, Alvin follows the lives of the Red Indians as they struggle aginst the onslought of the White settlers driving them out of their lands, and their own struggle of choosing war or peace. In the course of the book, Alvin learns to "see" more than meets the eye, to understand more of his "knack", and begins to realise how he should fit into the grand scheme of life.

The story is also immensely real and emotional. I was nearly in tears at the end of it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good- another in the Alvin series, 4 Sep 2001
By M. G. Latham "HM Oswald" (London Uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Red Prophet (The tales of Alvin Maker) (Paperback)
As usual Orson Scott Card delivers a highly readable sequel to his Alvin series. Readers are best advised to start at the beginning of the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inventive, Unorthodox and a Little Dark, 11 Mar 2009
By Sir Furboy (Aberystwyth, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Red Prophet (Paperback)
This book was a great read - and as usual, Card is inventive and unorthodox. What appears to be an anti-religious tirade settles into a more considered point of view. Meanwhile there are some interesting diversions into things that actually make a society strong and meaningful, and into issues surrounding native Americans, whilst all the time taking the overall story of a seventh son of a seventh son forward.

Not Card's best work, but certainly not his worst either - and well worth reading
