Negative Positive
Title: "Unrealistic" and predictable
Review: I won't pretend that I know how a 5-year old genius' mind works, but I'm pretty sure it isn't as depicted in this book. Card prefaces the most recent edition saying that many people are turned off from this story by the way he characterizes the children; well, count me in. I felt more like I was reading about the thoughts and actions of teenagers. Plus, I was able to guess the ending approximately halfway through. No real surprises here. It's a great idea carried out with little creativity, ala Michael Crichton.
