Title: Ender's Shadow does not live up to Ender's Game...
Review: This is a parallel novel to Ender's Game. It relates the same events of Ender's Game, but from the point of view of Bean. Ender's Shadow begins when Bean is four years old and barely surviving on the street. It tell of his struggle to survive and then his triumph in being accepted to Battle School. This novel has some new surprises in it. Surprises that I thought were unbelieveable. The book itself is a good read, however, it is not as good as Ender's Game. Some of the revelations are just too much in the sense that you almost feel contempt for Ender and shout to yourself, "Why doesn't he see this? Why is he letting himself be manipulated by Bean?". At least I did! I just did not accept or want to accept what Card was telling us about Bean. I have been looking forward to this novel for months and I can tell you that I was disappointed! The concept was so great, but I think that Card fell a little short on Ender's Shadow.
Is the review positive or negative?
