Jack Barratt jackbarratt — I read this in my high school women in lit class. it's a tough read cause it's not writen like any other book i've ever read, but once you're done with it and after some discussion, you realize what a genius woolf really was.

Lucas Bevilaqua lucasbevilaqua — so, here's a confession. reading science fiction, for me, is like reading in greek or colloquial german. i have some sort of delay that prevents me from getting into the cadence of a text easily; instead, it's labor. even in this one, which is definitely more "young adult" (although, i'd argue, not as much as you might think). and maybe it's because of that delay that i struggled to finish this one in a timely fashion or that i had to reread several passages over and over for clarity. i don't know. but that sci-fi dyslexia might be one of the reasons i didn't love all of this novel. note, i said all. here's the thing. i love ender. he, in a completely unrelated way, reminds me of ralph, from lord of the flies, who, like ender, is another boy sent to be a commander of troops who resent him. and, in both novels, even though the primary character list is children-based, the book isn't necessarily geared toward children. i'll say this, however, orson scott card is more roald dahl than william golding. he glorifies the intense creativity and genius of the child's mind in order to make his greater messages clear (rather than showing how evil lurks in even the seemingly most innocent of us). card's treatment of adults also follows a dahlian flavor - they're enemies, manipulative and cruel (only to be kind). when the novel stays with the games/school (like harry potter at hogwarts), it is vastly more successful than when we get into the politics of things on earth. the whole peter-valentine-russian-hegemon sideplot ultimately feels clunky in comparison to the deftness of the scenes in command and battle school. by the time we get to the whole hive-queen cocoon, speaker of the dead thing at the end, the reader (this one, anyways) feels like the whole thing has been rushed in order to set up the next book in the series. and i really hate that. it's gimmicky and cheap and does ultimate disservice to the original storyline. so, it's three stars, not four. if they'd cut out more of the earth battle or saved that for another novel, i wouldn't have minded. stupid, fart-eating subplots.
