I liked this and Ender's Game equally. Although if you read one you know the other's plot as well (so the ansible wasn't a surprise, sadly . . . I really liked how nobody figured it out and they were doing all the maneuvering).
I enjoyed the Bible references.
I got a new look at Bean. He was amazing. I had thought of him as a pretty tough little kid when I saw him in Ender's Game, but he's more than that. Funny how he seems like an outsider in Shadow, but Ender seems like an outsider in Game.
I kind of feel sad that he's gonna die young. But I am definitely reading the rest of this series.

Fine. Adequately written-- but Ender's Game was better.

I may be alone here, but I strongly feel that this book takes something away from [b:Ender's Game|375802|Ender's Game (Ender's Saga, #1)|Orson Scott Card|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1214413570s/375802.jpg|2422333] and I wish I wouldn't have read it. The subsequent sequels I enjoyed, as I like Bean and Petra and Peter, but this one . . . this one just sucks all the fun out of it.

Recommended for anyone who liked Ender's Game. A more philosophical retelling from Bean's perspective.

Listened to the abridged version (6 hrs instead of 16). Will read again. Abridged version not as good but still good. Not first time reading.
