Lovelock

Summary: Is Lovelock actually Bean in a monkey suit?
Review: While I enjoyed the majority of this book, it pretty obvious that Lovelock and Ender/Bean are pretty much interchangable. Both are geniuses, have amazing ability to hack into computers and find maps, info, etc. they aren't supposed to, have miraculous intuitive insights to do preventive measures while they have no clue why they're doing them, push themselves mercilessly to overcome every possible obstacle, personal discovery, physical difficulties, etc. Kathy Kidd's sarcastic humor was a much appreciated and needed relief to Card's same old character traits.
