amyrhoda 's review for:

Only You Can Save Mankind by Terry Pratchett

3.0

---

I read this as a companion piece to [b:Ender's Game|375802|Ender's Game (The Ender Quintet, #1)|Orson Scott Card|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1408303130s/375802.jpg|2422333] (according to my husband there is a whole subgenre of "video games that turn out to be real" SF out there). They're quite different books but they're neck and neck in terms of quality of characterization and depth of insight, with Pratchett coming out ahead with Humour over Earnestness.
