"a good light read"
This is one of those books that was meant to be heard not read. The reader was excellent, it is funny, entertaining, light. Its not a thinker, not teribly deep, just very funny and very enjoyable.
"I see 4 stars, but i don't know how they got there"
I have read all of the books in the enders series, i absolutly love them all, except this one. i not only didn't like it, i lost respect for Mr. Card it was so harsh. This book could be called kicking a dead horse as far a i am concered. You know how a high school drama series needs to end when the graduate from high school, and they don't end it and it goes down hill? Thats is exactly what this book is. Its stretching material past the point of it working. I feel it shouldn't have been written.
"bean is better"
Its ironic, i know this whole series started with ender, but i like the books about bean better. I have read every book in the ender series, and this is one of my favs. I actually like it better than enders game. I would recomend reading enders game first if you havn't already.
"better and better"
i thought the hole ender plot had to run dry sooner than later, so i had low expectations for this book, i was wrong. its one of my fav in the series. it is much more on the political side then the others, but i liked that. very inteligent. i listened to it twice in one month just to make sure that i got in all the details. and i will probibly listen to it again. the naration is very well done as well.
"a good find"
i loved it! the nariation was perfect. i am glad i picked this book up on audio, i think it would have been slow to read in book form, but the naration was so well done that i enjoyed all 23hrs. its a good find, anyone that likes fantasy will love this book.
