Jim Sulzer's work of perfection THE CARD PEOPLE surely is his best book he has written yet . . . This book reminds me of THE INDIAN IN THE CUPBOARD, one of my all time favorite books because this book has plastic toys that come to life. THE CARD PEOPLE has amazing descriptions and inventions made by the card people. This book is full of codes that the reader can find out by reading or discovering something. This is the kind of book that you do not want to stop reading and it is paced perfectly. If you like adventure and humor this is the book for you.

I think that a book about talking living animated objects could not get much better . . . In the wildly exciting adventures of this book they find the scissors people, the opposite form of the card people and are evilly mean. This book is a thriller for all ages, so don't wait to read this book!
--Morgan

The book can be read by both boys and girls and equally loved. This book is another version of THE INDIAN IN THE CUPBOARD but has more depth. The story is as much about a family crisis as it is about a science experiment that went terribly wrong.

Let's talk about how this book started. The upper school in the Nantucket New School have a trip every year and they usually take us camping. Well, after we hiked up the mountain we stayed in a lodge at the top. After we were done playing around we had dinner and then went to bed. Jim/James happened to be in our room so as we were going to bed we wanted a story. So Jim made up a random story about the card people. They were originally called the oogly-booglies. This book has come a far way and I hope the series keeps on going.

THE CARD PEOPLE is a fantastic amazingly stupendous book by James Sulzer . . . This story is about a deck of cards that comes to life and changes the life of Paul, Nim, Sam and Lex forever, as in danger, adventure, and twists in the plot. I would give this book a 5 out of 5 star review.

Sulzer has done it again with his third book, THE CARD PEOPLE. It is action packed, science and a little romantic.  I still can't believe that this book started as a bed time story called the oogly-booglies. From what I hear my classmate Morgan asked for a story that turned into a what I think will be America's bestseller.

James Sulzer has done it again. In his newest children's novel, THE CARD PEOPLE, half Indian Paul Kapadia finds himself caught in a conspiracy involving nanotechnology . . . Now Paul must protect the card people from a more primitive form of nanotechnology, the scissors people . . . all leading up to a thrilling climax, and a secret about Paul's father that no one saw coming. All this and more makes James Sulzer's THE CARD PEOPLE a must read for children 8 - 12.

THE CARD PEOPLE by James Sulzer is a winner. The book came to be when the Nantucket New School went on a camping trip, James Sulzer a teacher on this trip. One night, a person (before we were going to bed) said, "Can you tell us a story?" Then being a nice man that he is indeed told us a story. The story is about these little creatures named the card people . . . I liked the ending because it told us what we needed to know, but so we want or need to read the next book.
--Ben

It was great how the book had drama, and comedy that flowed through the book quite nicely. I felt like the more you read the book the more you wanted to read the whole thing. My favorite character was the Jack of Hearts because I thought he was very courageous . . . I would say THE CARD PEOPLE is one of the best I've ever read.
