I don't understand the hype over this crap at all.
Shitty teen drama parading as science fiction.
What did it contribute to the genre, besides making it more accessible to normies?

The Heebs loved it because casting it would require lots of minors gathered outside of their parents supervision. Lots of special "space tests" would need to be conducted during the auditioning.

Came here to say this. The first novel was fun, but had the weakest concepts. Speaker is amazing.

I just read this a few weeks ago. It sucks that it isn't even decent until the last 2 chapters. For an author that is against gay marriage and homosexuality, he sure does mention naked prepubescent boys a lot.

The book is meant to be read by children who are intellectually ahead. It's essentially little more than a compelling and inspiring message for such children.
Just a fun children's read, not unlike The Hobbit.
