I had the exact opposite experience. After everyone gushing about it, I finally grabbed it a couple of years ago. I would've loved this in my teen years, but as a 30something, it felt like a rather mediocre military sci-fi book with a huge Mary Sue protagonist and dubious moral conclusions. Well, at least it wasn't as long as Atlas Shrugged.
- abolibibelot 14y agoI couldn't agree more. Ender's game is pretty much Atlas Shrugged in space, written in a slightly less abysmal style. Same complexity in characters, same vindication of the megalomania/resentment of the introvert male teenager reader, same cult following.
