... I kinda ... um ... gave up. I can't be Moody-McMoodster for that much of my life.

I ... uh ... made it to Chapter 2. I love the work but ... gracious. I kind of keep having to step away from it for a while and remind myself that the world isn't only as dark as you make it.

I really, really hate the main character. I'm 30 seconds from putting the book away and never picking it up again. If she sits back and just lets one more thing happen rather than taking an active role in what the heck is going on, I'm going to kick her in the teeth. Somehow. Maybe I'll "translate" her butt through my bathroom mirror just long enough to do it.

As interesting as this is, I'm having a hard time believing Ender is as young as they say he is. I get the genetic testing thing but ... yeah. My suspension of disbelief is being stretched a bit.

I'm almost done with the book and can already tell you that I love it. It's even better than the first one.

Holy Hannah! I've given over 20 hours of my life to this book already.

I'm going to admit that the first chunk of this book seems to move very slowly.

Currently in Book III of the novel and, as expected, torn somewhere between cringing at what I know will inevitably be a bloodbath (anything Sigler just denotes a large body count) and loving the characters.

I am really having a hard time reading this. I'm not sure why.
