Negative Positive
Title: Not as good as Ender's Game but well worth a read.
Review: It was a fascinating exercise to review the events of Ender's Game through the eyes of another character. I found the premise of Ender's Shadow to be interesting, but the cool intellectual view of Bean was just not as moving as the tortured emotions of Ender Wiggin. The problem was that both Bean and I knew too much about what was going to happen before it happened, which meant there was very little of the suspense of Ender's Game. I also felt that too many questions and problems about Bean and his future were glossed over or left hanging in favor of a rather improbable "happy ending." Perhaps this is because a sequel is intended? Anyway, I think Ender's Game is the better read but Ender's Shadow was a good follow-up.
Is the review positive or negative?
