The ethical questions discussed in the book are intriguing, the characters are well written and the language is chosen carefully.

Read this for a banned book club, and it will be an interesting discussion because of Orson Scott Card's problematic behavior. I'm not sure how much this is still banned because of content, it's something I will have to look up. I am looking forward to our discussion, though!
