I love the main characters Noah and Jude equally though they are very different. I guess it's a YA novel but it has quite a lot of depth and dimensions. ...more

I'd never have guessed I would like this book as much as I do. Sure, I like my dystopian storylines about children or teens trying to save the world, I'd never have guessed I would like this book as much as I do. Sure, I like my dystopian storylines about children or teens trying to save the world, but I don't like too much violence, military aspects or cruelty. Of all of those there's more then enough to be found in Enders Game. But in this book it was fitting, somehow. I'm reluctant on reading any of the sequels, since I loved this one....more

Things I didn't like: For me there was too much background story about everyone involved. And I dislike the way it is printed; there is not enough white near the spine.
