Negative Positive
Title: A disappointment
Review: I liked Ender's Game very much. I also liked the 3 sequels despite the fact they were radically different - much slower pace and less adventurous. The quartet was ammazingly brilliant, and I was looking forward to the next chapter. Being a parallel book, I was expecting another gem. Unfortunatelly, Major parts of the beginning (before battle school) lack credability and the looooooooong essays capturing Bean's thoughts are simply boring. I would give this book an even lower rating, if it wasn't Ender's Shadow. If I would read it first in the series, I would dump it in the middle.
Is the review positive or negative?
