I\'m not so sure \"Hamlet\'s Father \" belongs here. The main reason it\'s \"torn to shreds\" is because of the controversial stuff that came to light after a couple of reviewers interpreted the story as Card making a link between pedophilia and homosexuality (which Card himself has denied, although I can\'t say whether he\'s being truthful or not).
(Also, I\'m not sure how I feel about linking to a site where you\'ve recently left a review yourself as evidence.)
For the record, I haven\'t read this and never will, but I wonder if the controversy surrounding this makes it a bit difficult to judge if it really belongs here. Several reviews have suggested that the book would have been, at worst, mediocre if not for the controversial elements.
