Ender's Series #3 was decent, but it seemed to be more of a philosophical debate than the previous two novels. He's created a set of characters that are so hyper-intelligent that most of their time is spent sitting around and debating. The family reminds me of a cross between The Royal Tenenbaums and J.D. Salinger's Franny and Zooey. It's just too much. Every character is the same person with one small quirk to their personality that makes them slightly different. (Tree hugger, preemptive striker, pope pious, mother #2, the quiet thinker, and handicapped genius... all the same character with their main personality trait being the only thing to differ them.) 
 All in all, it was a decent read, but I'm looking forward to the end of the Ender portion of these novels. There are as many as 15 books in the entire universe, but only four in the main storyline, it seems. On to the fourth and final book in the main storyline, "Children of the Mind".
