Pros: A marvelously engineered construction
Cons: Some parts are pasted-on papier-mache
Bottom Line: Despite serious unevenness, the up side of Ender's Game makes it well worth the price of admission. In softcover.

Pros: More than the sum of its parts; an ageless classic; heart-wrenching
Cons: The ONLY negative I can muster after vein-popping concentration is...
Bottom Line: The several angles that twist the reader including childhood development, warfare, and these effects on the psyche of a child make this book a bona fide classic.
