A worthy successor to Ender's Game, though some fans of the book probably wouldn't care for the direction the series took after the action packed original. Check out Ender's Shadow if you're just looking for more of the same.

** spoiler alert ** Who doesn't want to read research on success? Gladwell describes what schools, educators and business don't want you to know about what it takes to be a success. My favorite is the 10,000 hour premise. I can see that this is true especially with things I am fairly good at like playing Scrabble. My husband couldn't put this down, I couldn't put this down either. A friend of mine was hired by Skadden, Arps law firm years back and I knew she was number one in her graduating class at Loyola, but I didn't understand what it meant to be hired by them like I do now after reading about their founding. You will love the section on "Gifted" students and how one just needs to be good enough because after that everything academic levels out. I do think that Gladwell looses his outliers premise in the second half of the book with the Korean Air section, etc. and (as he did in his other Books) in his "family" section. It didn't stop my enjoyment. When I read the introduction about Roseto, I saw how far my life is from this quintessential town. Essentially I learned that no one makes it in life by "accident."
