I loved this book! It wasn't a typical cheesy sci fi about aliens who attack earth. The characters were all fully developed and thus easy to relate to. It was interesting to switch between Ender in space and his family at home. It seemed almost like different time periods because of the culture changes and technological advances. The book also tied in military strategies, history, and politics, but in manageable doses so as not to bore the reader. There was analysis of the character's personalities and goals by those characters and others. I appreciated how much thinking the reader was able to see in more than one character!
