Title: Mixed Emotions
Review: I have been an avid OSC fan for many years. I first read Ender's Game in sixth grade and over the years I have worn the book literally to pieces. When I learned Ender's Shadow was to be released I was very excited. However, the book did not live up to my understandably high expectations. In EG, Ender was presented as a heroic, brilliant, and tragic young boy. It seemed to me that by making Bean even more brilliant than Ender, OSC made Bean the REAL hero. I read Ender's Shadow in two grueling days. In the end, I felt duped, and I felt that Ender had been cheated. The book is worth reading, but read Ender's Game first, it is by far the superior novel.
Is the review positive or negative?
