Pathfinder - A review

A great Pathfinder review from Riley, one of our fabulous superfans!

I really enjoyed reading 'Pathfinder' written by Orson Scott Card. It was well written, and kept me guessing and interested the whole time. This is a book that I would , and will read over and over again.

The ideas of time travel and the other powers that come into play in this book , slowing down time , or speeding up your own brain or speeding up your own body are all intriguing and different.

I like the short pieces of the other story that each chapter began with, and how they didn't tie in or make sense until the very end. The hints and clues were there, but I couldn't make sense of any of it until the story ended. The characters are real, and they are easy to relate to. This was a wonderful read for anyone , for people who want an interesting book to read for ten min. a night , or for those avid readers like myself who read this 657 page book in two hours.

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone I knew from grade 8 and up.
