R E K. (bigstone) - , reviewed on 9/16/2014 + 1438 more book reviews

Ah, yes, this novel was every bit as good as the reviewers said and certainly deserving of both the Hugo and Nebula Awards. Why, oh why, did I wait so long to read it?

The story has many directions and many well developed characters that the reader can love - Ender, Valentine. Bean, Alai, Dink and others. I found myself despising Ender and Valentine's parents. How could any parents be so unfeeling?

In short, I recommend that anyone interested in science fiction check this wonderful novel out. It's an amazing adventure. And, to use a quote suggested by one of my Goodreads friends:

Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretend to be.
