Okay, i’m going to start by saying that i don’t know what to rate this book really. This book has some negatives and some not positive but close enough.
I liked Ender and his big smart brain. I liked Peter (i don’t know that he was a “psychopath?” or what he we don’t know really). I liked that Peter tried to take over the world through the internet and that very funny to me.
Ender being in battle school was such a horror to read because of the mental abuse that he was being put through by Graff (who i’m not convinced actually cared about ender). Everyone used Ender as a means for them to finally live in peace from the Buggers but i just felt so bad for him. Graff should’ve gone to jail for child endangerment because it was his fault that Ender ended up killing Bonzo (AND I STAND BY THIS). Something was just so off about this entire thing how he got off and how Ender just brushed past the fact that he had with this own two hands killed two people (whether he knew or not).
Ender’s relationship with his sister was VERY weird throughout the whole book, and it’s not until i finished and digged around that i found out the author was a mormon (those who know will understand what i mean). It just gave me an ick every time they talked (I don’t know why but it was giving me weird vibes).
I liked the side characters like Alai (he was my favorite), Dink, Petra and Bean (my baby). I grew attached to them and i really thought that they were on the ship they were commanding for a while there.
I don’t know i didn’t like the ending much and that’s all i’m going to say on that because i want to be done with this book already and never read it again or touch the sequels because i’m very disappointed in this one.
My thoughts on this book are very scrambled right now.
I laughed at all the fart jokes…lmaooo
