"Hear this."

It was so Dink. I think I fell in love with him then.

Carn and Dumper's emails to each other at the beginning of chapter 17 are hilarious...

I also liked when Andrew said "time." It just pulled that whole event at Petra's house together for me.

Hmm,quotes. "Re: Let's see . . . zipper . . . fly . . . pull . . .

Ouch! Ow! Oweeee!" An email by Carn.

Or when bean says, "Thanks mummy".

The part where Graff was explaining to the Jeesh why they had to leave Earth. Also the whole Carn Carby Bunper thing. Though nostgalically(?) the last chapter the conversation between Ender and Peter.

I don't rememer Bean saying "Thanks mummy."... [Wall Bash] Page number?

I liked the book's last line. I have trouble retaining specific texts though, so there was probably something better than that somewhere...

I know there were a bunch of quotes I liked, but the only one that I can recall right now is when one of the Jeesh members (Dink?) says, "We didn't invent war, we're just really good at it." That whole chapter was really good. I love how the Jeesh members have grown into cocky young adults.

My favorite part...

I enjoyed the line "take a look in the mirrior Virlomi, that is what the beginning stages of megalomania look like.." Hard to imagine an opportunity where such a line could be delivered in all seriousness with concern for the person aimed at.

I enjoyed Ma Wiggin being a grammar Nazi, and Bean pointing out that while English does, Common doesn't have the word "whom".
