The best thing I can say about this one is that, with heavy Editting, it might make a half decent ya book, though Card openly despises them so there is that. Overall it felt very weak and the ending was incredibly abrupt. Also I have to say that Card...more

I think it would be wonderful read as a child. I had trouble putting myself in the characters' shoes, both due to the difference in time period and age. It should definitely be held as a classic though.
