Didn't quite live up to the hype for me. The writing and dialogue was rather tedious and boring and the battle games were too repetitive. It felt like I was re-reading the same boring thing for 300 pages. I actually enjoyed the last thirty pages when he became the Speaker for the Dead. Some have criticized it as being too New Age, but I liked the idea of redemption not only for our own actions, but ultimately sometimes also for the actions of others. Just like the buggers, I think this book's potentially interesting plot and thought-provoking ideas were victims of the Author's writing.

Science fiction I loved as a kid that is still amazing as an adult. Have re-read twice, last time in 2020.

The best book I have read in the last year! Amazing, not much more I can say. It reminded me a little bit of old Man's war but instead of being about old people this book is based on super intelligent kids! I realise this book is much older than Old Man's war and I suspect that John Scalzi was at least partially inspired by this amazing book. I don't normally read non-current Sci-fi but I am so glad I read this. Highly recommended 5/5 and certainly in the top 3 books I have ever read.
