Title: Don't read this book!
Review: If you're considering reading Ender's Shadow, you've probably just come from reading Ender's Game, which you loved(as it should be loved). If this is at all true, DON'T READ THIS BOOK! Ender's "Shadow" is the character of Bean... except this Bean has nothing in common with the Bean you've met. In this version, Bean is better, smarter, and more reliable than Ender - Card has to constantly trip over himself to figure out why Bean would have said the original dialog and create reasons why he wasn't put in charge instead. None of it makes any sense, and in the process Ender is torn down, insulted, and made into a mockery of the amazing character we've all fallen in love with. Very rarely does a book make this angry, but (having read this book over 7 years ago) I am still hurt and offended that anyone, least of all his creator, would ever do something so cruel to such a beautiful character. Don't let Ender be destroyed like this - don't read this book.
