Most of the questions raised in my previous post have been answered. Third does, in fact, mean third child. The voices are actually the administrators at the military school Ender goes to, plotting against him. The monitor existed to see if he was indeed the "chosen one". the brilliant military leader that they needed. Ender is a quiet, intelligent little kid, who is more tactically brilliant than any of the other cadets. He always wins his battles against other students. He teaches a bunch of the other younger students the things that he learns in training, giving them a leg up on the older kids.
One thing of particular interest is the "Back Home" sequence with his brother Peter, and his sister Valentine. I only intend to say that Peter appears to have megalomania and delusions of grandeur, and I think he's going to become a serial killer.

Sounds like a pretty baller book to me. I am anxious to learn more about the "chosen" one.
ReplyDeleteTactical boy genius and serial killers, sounds like an interesting book. The plot line is vaguely similar to an anime I once watched called Jyu-Oh-Sei.
