But I kept going.Īs a positive note, I think Children of the Mind deals with interesting concepts and metaphysics, but it was just so frustrating to read. Were it not for the fact that I wanted to know how the series ends I would have just stopped there. I was really excited to read it and about halfway through, I realized that I hated it. Having read Xenocide a few years ago, I came across Children of the Mind in a local, used book store and bought. The transition in tone from Ender's Game to Speaker for the Dead really struck me and while I enjoyed Ender's Game, I was moved by Speaker. These books began to hold at least some value to me as well beyond just being fun reads. I also read a couple of the side-books like Ender's Shadow. Not on any particular schedule just when I felt the desire to read it / had the money to purchase it. Its been over a decade since then and every few years I have read the next one. So we got it and I read it and I loved it. That it was one of his favorite books and that it held a lot of value to him. While we were there, he brought me the book Ender's Game and told me that I needed to read it. When I was in high school, I was at a Barnes and Nobles with my best friend at the time.
