Not the most original story I've ever read, but still very well told and really enjoyable

I'm guessing me not loving this story is one part me not being a native English speaker, and Poe's work not being the easiest to follow. Another part me not drinking any sort of alcohol ever, cause I really dislike it's taste, so I really can't find a common ground with this person going completely out of his mind. But, let's be fair, it was also probably three parts of me not being awake enough to even read this short story in one sitting. I probably should just re-read it once I've slept a bit

Because I am sick and my headache hurts too much to actually read words, I decided to try an audiobook. I'm still listening to it as I type and am about halfway now, but I can already say this is THE best sci-fi book I've ever read. Now, those that know me even a little, know that that doesn't say a whole lot about how good of a book it is, because I hardly read any sci-fi, but this defenitely belongs to my favourites and I have already recommended it. I find I have a very hard time pausing it for whatever reason, even though my head feels like a smith is using it as an anvil.

Some hours after that, I had finished the book. I think that last trick they pulled on Ender was one of the biggest plot twists I've ever read. If there's more sci-fi out there that's like this book, I might just start to read it more often ;)
