It sucked me in. I couldn't escape. This book is a must-read. You're introduced to the protagonist Ender Wiggin and the trial by fire he goes through to potentially become the "savior" of earth. He never asked for this. You're taken on a ride as this boy, because that's all he is, is forced to become a man too soon. You're there for his fear and triumphs. How Ender has to fight for everything, because everyone around him pushes and pushes. Find this book. Buy this book. Read this book.

A great book and without saying a single word about the plot, I'll recommend it for anyone who wants to understand the meaning of the word 'dignity'.

This is probably one of my favorite books. The three generations worth of family stories was unbelievable. I loved how distance the oldest generation was in Greece and how familiar the second generation in Detroit was. And I really enjoyed how the book starts out in Greece to tell this love story between two siblings (as unappealing as that sounds, it wasn't). And I loved the descriptions of the riots in Detroit. And then to finish it off by really focusing on the main character, a hermaphrodite, working in San Francisco’s Haight. It was so interesting.

This is a brilliant book, whose protagonist is an autistic teenager. Written in a lively, murder-mystery style, it is also gently humorous and a great read. This book is an excellent introduction to the subject of autism, especially when it comes to quirky behavior and difficult social relationships.
