Title: And a poor shadow at that...
Review: For me, Ender's Game was an excellent book that was unfortunately followed with some very poor sequels. I had better hopes for Ender's Shadow, but found it to be dry, overly analytical, and showed through too much of Card's strong religious background in it's not too subtle overtones. Ender's Game is one of the best books I've read, but unless you really enjoyed its sequels, don't get the 'companion novel'
