Read the book!

by Stephen Laughlin , Long Beach, CA, Tuesday, May 07, 2013, 23:15 (4008 days ago) @ Chewbaccawakka

Xenocide is my absolute favorite piece of science fiction. I've read it at least a dozen times.

My opinion would probably be different today but I remember it being a little preachy and a bit of a slog when I went through the original four books in high school. I was just sorry it was over after finishing Children of The Mind. I'll have to revisit Xenocide sometime after I get through the last couple Iain M. Banks that I missed.

Ender's Shadow was just terrible though. :(
