It started rather slow, in a childish world, I know the writer meant to make Ender's world believable, but it was somehow dull.
Development of the story in battle-school was more interesting, but after all it was on Eros that I began to enjoy the story.
I was disappointed though, that the whole point of the book -training a kid to be the commander of human fleets- was finally described in less than a paragraph in last chapters, left obscure and unbelievable.

If it wasn't for the last chapter -the bugger's point of view- I would have gave it 2 out of 5!
