Beautiful production of the novel in graphic format, and again, tears flowed from my eyes in memory of such a beautiful tale. ( )

I didn't like much about this book. The narration was awful and the story offered little to be excited about. I think I will take a break from Ender until November, the movie ENDERS GAME will be released, I will go see it and try and forget all about this crappy book. ( )

Not as exciting as Ender's Game, but it deals with some interesting themes. I particularly liked how it addressed the concern any Star Trek fan will recognize as "the prime directive" - whether or not to disturb/taint a new species with information/technology/aid from one's own world. Card's take on this is so much deeper and blows Roddenberry's away.Of course there's always Ender to love--who wouldn't? To me the fact that he was an adult didn't hamper the story in any way. I also liked the characters in the family that he came to know in the story, although the book had a good amount of foreign language in it which got a bit rocky at times for a single-language reader like myself.I'm fascinated with the intelligent computer character Jane and probably will have to read the next book just to see if the world gets to find out about her and her "species."
