New Review: Orson Scott Card's Shadow of the Hegemon

ADDED a review of Orson Scott Card's Shadow of the Hegemon. Again, a disappointment compared to Ender's Game; you can read the rest of my review for my other unflattering criticisms. I expect I'll be churning along with A Fire Upon the Deep at this point, but, in addition, I think it's high time I read John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany, which will be one of the first high-brow novels to be reviewed on this site. Also, I checked out the first volume of Katsuhiro Otomo's famous manga graphic novel, Akira: The Beginning. The scope of this thing is insane; all six volumes take up a total of over 2,000 pages of tightly drawn manga. Should be fun.
