Harrison Ford but I just couldn't connect with what was going on or what we

Finished it a few minutes ago. I only had 30 minutes to go from last time.
Everything wraps up pretty fast: the big reveal (the lie), Ender's reaction, a
bit too-long scene with one of the Formics, (the extended scenes with Shelob,
the spider in Lord of the Rings was much more interesting) and then a sudden
cut to the future with Ender apparently commanding his own ship with "the
precious cargo" ..and no more details how he accomplished that.  Now I *have*
to dig through the pages of the book to get the complete picture.
