"Too much"
If you enjoy thinking and intrigues and mind games between people you will love this book.
The book is too complex for me to read.
None, didn't come very far
N/A
The book is probably very good, it is just not a book for everyone.
"This is the path to go"
The book is about tactics and strategy. Bean against another smart guy in an epic battle. You will feel very smart after reading it.
When Petra tries to escape an imprissonment from Achilles. It is very well and realistic and not dumb down a bit.
The narrator is reading in a good pace smooth and entertaining.

Read the first book (Ender's Game).
"Greate continuation"
This is one of the best books I have heard/read but it is also one of the most liked sci-fi books out there.
This book compares well to Ender's game. Both are heavily focused on a certain task and sticks with it with no distractions at all except elements that are natural to the situations which enhances the experince.
My favourite scene (spoiler) .... was when Captain Falco had taken all the ships. After that you still had a hope that some of the ships would come back and a feeling you had to be extra careful since we are lot fewer now (like I was part of the story).
No, but I sometimes saw images and had to stop with what I was doing so I could live in the book.
"A classic that really is good"
Yes, an interesting world where the best of the best are. A reality which you feel could be real for people of that stature: The leaders of the Universe. Dune is painted as an intriguing planet of sand with interesting people in it.
The plots and plans within plans can be hard to follow so a second run through could reveal more of the story.
It is not a particular moment. The whole atmosphere is the best in the book.
inconsistent, voice, good
No idea, something that would play on the opposing words: a colourful desert
"Best book ever!"
Brilliant, space, reality
This is not a normal story. No love story and not trying to be smart. It is a smart book! I think it is smart by making the characters do really smart things but no unrealistic and it gives the readers full information. Everything becomes very clean simple and elegant. It doesn't try to complicate anything.
They read the book in a way that made you think about the story and not that someone was reading. No anoying voices and all was very clear.
The final test and one particular moment: when main character (Ender) fought a bully without confronting him. I thought that was really smart and a fantastic way of dealing with the situation.
"Trying to be smart"
The plot was hard to figure out and why I should care. It didn't have the same action and amazement as the fist book. It was just too complicated to follow.
I feel it is hard to tag along in the book. Full of trying to be smart. A plan within a plan within a plan. Like the fist book but this doesn't have the magic as the first book had. Now Paul has all the kingdom and universe it becomes really dull.
The end, it was only then I started to understand the book.
No
"Not good at headlines: just going with Star Treck!"
Yes, I would listen to this again. It reminds me of what is good about Star Treck but leaves the
The main character is the only one who really gets
The beginning of the book takes of with action right away and makes it clear what the problem is. After that, you will remember the main problem, what everybody needs to focus on without problem. That is how you start a book!
No.
"A real greate shadow book"
This book is the same story as Ender's game. However the author has done a really good job not to repeat himself. It is definetly worth reading both books and I truely think you will look on both books differently depending on which one you read first. I read Ender's game first. I can't really tell which one was best, but this one gave a good cliff hanger in the end for the rest of the Shadow series.
"Not a compelling story or performance"
I didn't follow the story at all. It didn't pull me in or anything like that. The performance was bad in Audible standards, why not bring more readers instead of changing the vioce now and again...next time!
I finished only part one. However, this is one the big classic books, maybe it is just me.
"Good discussions about our fears of robots!"
This book are several stories in one. The beginning is a little bit slow but wait until they get into space. All stories has something to do with the three laws of robotics. What happens if you change them, what problems can they cause, what would happen if a robot questions man etc.
The book is like the philosophy meetings where one is placed in an imaginary situation with some moral or ethical dilemma and you reason about the options and it consequences.
