Thriller turned into Comedy. Until this book, I had never thrown a book in anger. I admit, I got about 5...6 chapters into the book? I was open to a lot of possible outcomes for the book. I was willing to give the fantasy room to grow. When the Grass Roots Rebellion got Battlesuits.... that's when I drew the line. It's trash fiction based that was designed to sell during a time where relationships in America seemed and maybe were strained. I am sure that someone out there will find it enjoyable. I can't. It's not Heinland. It's not even bad Card, and I've read Bad Card. This is the worst book he had wrote up to that date, and unless you really like corny, stupid stories, I suggest you skip this one and go back to his stronger Ender and Bean series.

Down right good book.. Political fan or not (I'm not) it still was a very good read.

Masterful. This book is a fine example of Card's humble mastery. It is an entirely believable thought-provoking page-turner of a story. Don't miss the epilogue, too.

Transparent Propaganda. This book wears its half-baked politics on its sleeve, serving up naive oversimplifications and archetypes as truth. I couldn't wade through this mess to find the story, and didn't make it past the first few chapters. I've read Card since I was a teenager, but this embarrassing disaster of a book has put me off for good.

0 Stars. Unlike wine, OSC has not gotten better with age. This is awful. I’m done with Card, especially when I consider his politics.

?. ''A disturbing look at a possible future" (from the book cover) This book has a few good points and a good plot. I wouldnt advise reading if you dont have an open mind. If you do you are probably going to like this book.

Excellent. Well written fast paced. Empire covers a "what if" scenario that, with the exception of the (limited) sci-fi element, is a plausible outcome of turbulent times.

Good story. Good story

Good writer, poor plot. I enjoy Card's work (such as the Enders books) for his believable and intimately written characters, his compassion, his powerful plot lines, and his strong sense of justice. At times I had a very hard time believing that Orson Scott Card wrote this book. The premise was fine, the characters were believable, and the book was suspenseful enough at times to keep me reading. Unfortunately, I felt as if Card was...showing off, being too self-righteous as he wrote, as if the half respected, half hated character of Torrent was actually Card himself. It is difficult to describe accurately, so I will sum up by saying that once I finished the story, I felt disgusted, and even a little cheated. Definitely not a must-read from the creator of Andrew Wiggin.

Wow. Excellent read, hauntingly familiar in 2020

Nope. I didn't like this when I read it initially - too concept driven and very one dimensional- and I like it less given Card's politics.

Empire. Surprised at how bad this book was. Save your eyes and hard earned $.

Fabulous. Chilling,realistic, and intriguing. Card has hit the central nerve of the danger we face in our western democracies. This novel opens eyes and should make readers pay greater attention to their liberties. Well done Mr. Card.

Amazing Book. Simply a great book. Riveting, I couldn't set it down, all sorts of twists and turns that just take the reader along for a ride.
