No, I would say it is quite a bit better. But then I was never a *big* fan of the Ender series.
It's better than mediocre, but not a lot better.

As for the Ender series I have to agree, somewhat. At the very least "Enders Game" is a great book. Different in the way it was written, in the context of how the reader feels while reading it. Allow me to draw a Tolkien parallel; "The Hobbit" in direct contrast to "The Lord Of The Rings" trilogy reads as a childs book, and indeed it was a childs book. Yet while reading it one is enveloped in a fantasy land where nothing is really explained, yet nothing needs to be explained. One is content to let Tolkien caress them and hold them in his loving arms, while reading the book. "Enders Game" is quite similar. And indeed Cards writing style encompasses this feeling quite often. It's one of the things that draws me at least, towards Card in a recreational manner.
