I gave up on this book 50 pages in. I wasn't interested in the writing style and since people had recommended it to me, I'd pressed on this far. When the kids started using slurs and stuff I got real wary and decided I didn't really care to finish. Read the synopsis on Wikipedia. Probably would've been a great book back in the 80s, but better books have come along that don't have to slog through kids using slurs and old writing style. No one is very likeable and Ender is just the best boy. I guess that's the crucial issue in the end, but it wasn't my jam. Very bored. To each their own.
