Xenocide (Ender's Saga, #3)
by Orson Scott Card
by Orson Scott Card
This xkcd web comic makes for the best review of this book. http://xkcd.com/304/
I didn't hate it. The philosophy and science annoyingly reminded me of Tom Clancy's later stuff where he rambles on and on over minutia no one but him and his 7 true fans really enjoy. The rest of us start skimming hoping to find something to make continuing to read worth it. Only to depressingly read the last sentence wondering why successful authors stop using editors.

I don't agree with the rating, but the link to the xkcd comic made me laugh out loud.

:) Liked the comic. And it's so true about the skimming. Around page 450, I just sighed and wondered if I could go on. Too bad. I'm not often disappointed by Card.
