Orson Scott Card is a one of my favorite authors. Ender’s Game and Ender’s Shadow remain two of my favorite books. His followups to those books were mostly OK too. Before Homebody, I’d read just one other book by him, Enchantment, which was, well, enchanting. 
But a buddy of mine read another book by Card which he really did not like, and that somewhat dissuaded me from reading more.
I’m glad i took a chance on Homebody. This was another random library selection. And it seems like a normal book at first. A guy with a haunted soul starts to renovate an abandoned house. The reader is teased – is the house haunted, or not? It’s fun and spooky to explore the history of this house with Don, the main character. I won’t give away anything, but would definitely recommend the book.
As i mentioned a post or two ago, i have read a lot of tough books lately. So i totally devoured this one when it didn’t suck. Fast read – i think it only took me a day and a half.
