Hiding their youth and identities behind the anonymity of the computer networks, these two begin working together to shape the destiny of Earth-an Earth that has no future at all if their brother Ender fails. Valentine's abilities turn more toward the subtle control of the beliefs of commoner and elite alike, through powerfully convincing essays. Peter seeks to control the political process, to become a ruler. But they are driven by their jealousy of Ender, and by their inbred drive for power. Neither was found suitable for the military's purpose. While Peter was too uncontrollably violent, Valentine very nearly lacks the capability for violence altogether. Ender's two older siblings, Peter and Valentine, are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway almost as long. He will grow up fast.īut Ender is not the only result of the experiment. Ender Wiggin is six years old when it begins. The only way to find out is to throw Ender into ever harsher training, to chip away and find the diamond inside, or destroy him utterly. The result of genetic experimentation, Ender may be the military genius Earth desperately needs in a war against an alien enemy seeking to destroy all human life. But it is what it and there isn't anything I can do about it.Andrew "Ender" Wiggin thinks he is playing computer simulated war games he is, in fact, engaged in something far more desperate. There is more things I could say about this book, I just don't have enough time to write them all. Horrible pacing, bad characters, and mistakes. There is really very few good things to say about this book. Also, he put "fight back" as "fightback". For instance on page 223 MacHale put, "Well when you put it that way, , ," He had put commas instead of periods. In addition there was also some mistakes I noticed. He aslo starts whining and complaining like a little child. At one part Tucker tells him to watch out for Olivia and Kent said "Who's going to watch out for me?". Then, as soon as they get out of the compound, they're with the revolution and they're under attack, he turns into a total wimp. He's tough and cool and a little full of himself in the beginning. He starts off as the tough guy, one of the school's best football players. So many other things happened that I can't even begin to describe them all.Īlso there was the other characters. Then, only a few pages later, he found out his parents were working for SYLO, too. Tucker would find out that Quinn's parents were lying. That is when the pace took off like a bullet. Then they're at the festival when the next death occurs then SYLO comes in at that very instant. It starts off with a couple major things happening like the first death and the explosion then nothing else happens for a while. You discovered more about her throughout the story, just not everything. She started off like she didn't care about anyone, but you later dicovered that she did care about her father, he was the one person she loved untill he died. Tori, though, was that character you knew very little about so that made her interesting. The only reason I liked these two characters was because they were funny and knew how to "push buttons". There were only a couple good characters in this story. Where do I begin? I can count the number of good things I have to say on one hand.
