Author: Orson Scott Card
Best Part About This Book: This was the first science fiction novel I’ve ever read that I actually enjoyed. Why is that? Perhaps because the characterization and relationships of Ender felt real to me. And also, there’s a strong female character in the book (Valentine), often missing in sci-fi. It’s listed among [...]

Author: Patricia Cornwell
Best Part About This Book: The writing style didn’t pander to the masses, but consistently used forensic and other scientific vocabulary.
What’s Missing: An old-fashioned, whodunnit sort of thriller, which is what I prefer. This is more cold, detached, and doesn’t leave you on the edge of your seat.
