I've read this book 3 times and given it an average score of 4 (out of 4).

This is book #1 in the Ender series.

Something different jumps out at me every time I read this. This time, it was Demosthenes and his artificial fear-mongering. Still such a great story though.

Superb as always! I like how my perspective shifts each time I read it. I always feel like I respond differently as I age. This time around, I thought a lot about what it means to be an adult vs a kid and a bit about the power dynamics addressed in the story.

Read it through on one long road trip. Made me think a lot about how it's lonely at the top.
