Review title: Another sad Card tale is empty at heart
Product review: Yes, the book is harrowingly sad, the ultimate fate of the characters utterly heart-breaking, the portrait of their lives drawn with poignant care. But the book is meaningless. I fail to understand the point of a story whose sole intent is to relay a message of bottomless sorrow. And there are other, darker implications beneath the text that speak of Card's ongoing exploration of certain aspects of human behaviour, making me feel very much lectured at. But the book is highly readable, and the history lesson about the early days of computer software is very engaging. It'd rate higher with me if it weren't for the fact that it seems to have been written with the single-minded purpose of manipulating readers into feeling heartbreak and sorrow. I'm even supposed to boo at the obvious villains
