I'm trying to read through all my old favorites to see if they're still favorites. I still loved this one, although I'm not sure if I had read it for the first time today if it would still be a favorite. But maybe.

I still had a hard time putting it down. I love the characters, I got a bit teary, and I still think it's a meaningful book. Nothing like Ender's Game (my all-time favorite book), but still a great book for fans of Ender.

No rating yet, still processing. But I did like it quite a bit for the ethnographical aspects.
