OSC's imagination really shines through in this book. It's packed with so many ideas that OSC could probably create dozens of other books based on each one. As packed as it is, it doesn't suffer from clutter or confusion. The world he creates weaves in and out of each idea beautifully, sewing together several themes.

Got it after a few other Card novels, great tale of a man exploring his identity, duty, an the history of his planet.

First Orson Scott card book I ever read, was immediately hooked on him from then on. Great story. Great writer.
