Ender's Game

Third post on this book in about as many days; yes, I have a bit of an obsession with this story. After reading through it for the twentieth time (I swear no exaggeration, I used to read and reread and reread this book back in middle school. OK maybe not twenty times, maybe 15 or something), I was still awed by the story. Found it the most interesting I've ever found it, which I found a bit ironic, as I'm no longer anywhere near Ender's age, and I've read enough/been educated (whatever that means) to spot the short comings of the book and its story. Didn't care at all, loved everything about it. I used to only love the bits about Ender, about battle school. I always glossed over the Peter/Val parts, rushed to the end once he got to command school. Not this time. The two siblings fascinated me, probably cause they give you more perspective on Ender, or confirm some of his traits at least. Command school, cool as it is, just cannot measure up to the rest of the book. Everything up to command school is amazing, including his depressed time on the lake, but once he gets there it almost feels like this obligatory ending to the tale. Still great though. Want to read Speaker for the Dead now. Can't find my copy though. Sister probably has it, gotta go raid her bookshelf.
