This is the second time I read this book because my son is reading it in school. I probably enjoyed it more the second time than the first, but missed the surprise ending from the first time around. The first time I was put off by the strange world of the future where people had lost their freedom and the world was run by the military. The second time through, I understood more about the bugger threat so I wasn't as put off.
Overall, the book could have been more tightly plotted. The brother and sister of Ender writing their political views was more of a distraction and only contributed to the end of the book and not to the main plot of Ender's journey.
My son's review (age 11) was: Not the best book, but OK. I can't argue with that.
