A terrible followup to Ender's Game's magnificence
Ender's Game is one of the best novels written. Not only is it a purely enjoyable read, but it surrounds and is encapsulated by situations and events that will leave you thinking for months and years afterwards.As good as Ender's Game is, Xenocide is unworthy to follow it. It follows a simplistic premise and frustrating story. Even if you ignore the total lack of scientific developments in the hundreds of years passed since Ender's Game, it's still just a boring, unfortunate followup to a sci-fi classic.The only thing worse than Xenocide is Children of the Mind. Skip them both - if you must know what happens, ask a friend who was unlucky enough to read them both.Card is an excellent writer, and Ender's Game is too good to have been followed up with such a poor second.
