This book was very exciting and fun to read. I especially liked how the author never explained how the children were so gifted but instead left it to the imagination.
Throughout most of the book, Ender is being manipulated either by the IF or by his dislike of Peter. I kept asking myself why Ender just didn't quit at some points instead of being further manipulated and used. Is this just another of his amazing qualities?

Comment: I found Cards portrayl of children far more accurate than most books I read that largely concern them.
Question: Do you think ender's desire to 'make it so his opponent can't hurt him' actually crosses the grade from manslaughter to murder?
