Title: Ummm...not his best work
Review: Well, I loved Ender Game, in fact I've just read it again for the umpteenth time, but even ignoring what this wirter is actually capable of, this is not a good book. The problem is, and it's true of the rest of this series and of the Wiggin books subsequent to Ender's Game, is that the main character is just boring. I found that the 'goodies' were just sooo good and the 'bad guys' just so bad that I really had no sympathy for any of them. In fact, by the time I had read about two thirds of my way through I only kept reading out of a sense of obligation, not because there was any real interest in seeing it through. The only thing I really enjoyed was speculating about whether there were really homosexual overtones in the feelings of the lawyer (I can't even remember his name) toward Alvin. If you're determined to read Card, read Ender's Game or The Lost Boys (a short story that he published in one of his collections and is brilliant) instead
Is the review positive or negative?
