what surprise me the most was the fact that Petra had 14 kids. she had 9 kids with bean. and another 5 she had with peter. and the fact the Peter and Petra got married. I mean I remembered the first time I read EG, I never imagined Peter getting married to Petra. In The beginning of Shadow of the Giant, I thought Petra disliked him so much.

So what surprised you the most?

Seeing the statue of liberty and realizing that it was Earth all along.

I really was not expecting Ender to die (before I read the book) but I don't know what suprised me most. Probably how Petra gave into Bean and let him go with the kids, when she didnt go herself. Also, I always thought it was sort- of suprising when Ender 'split' himself into Young Val, Young Peter and himself. Of course, these were the characteristics that truly made him.

When Ender died, it took me off guard, big time

- When Young Peter and Young Val were, uhm, sprouted.
- When Bean didn't die (I read a "spoiler" that he died when I was reading Speaker for the Dead, but that "spoiler" lied to me).
- When Sister Carlotta died. Since her body was never found, I'd assumed she never REALLY died and we would meet up with her later. Come Shadow of the Giant, where is she?

My friend saw I was reading a book (a mere minutes after I got out of the library), snatched it from me, opened up to a random page and read a sentence. It said, "Valentine went to Ender's funeral." I will never forgive my friend.

i would have slapped the hell of them.

She knew I was mad at her, but she's so resilient that I doubt she cared. She DOES allow me to call her Qing Jao, albeit she insists the pronunciation MUST be, "King How?"

As funny as she is, that did NOT make me feel better.

The fact that Quara grew up to be such a b****. most things I saw coming a mile away but Quara made no sense.

i excepted Quara to be a b**** for reasons I can't explain.
