The dialogue in the book is incredibly unrealistic. There are attempts at humor in the most inappropriate areas creating an inconsistent mood throughout the book. None of the characters seem real or genuine in any way; they're nothing more than weak military-esque caricatures. Its as though everything Card knows about the military he learned from watching half of an episode of 24.
Everything about this book comes across as mediocre and even amateur.

The book is scary as hell. I'm afraid that this could really happen. Gotta say the story is well written and read on the Audio Book on CD

why does Orson Scott Card look young here, and not in recent clips? This can't have been too long ago. What is he, a time traveller?

He has trouble keeping his weight down, and it varies dramatically. I think this is why he looks older at times and younger at others, because his face gets more fleshy when he is overweight.
