I really wanted to like this book. I really wanted to review it with an unbiased point of view, but I'm not sure I can so I'm not going to try. I honestly don't see the genius in this book. I think the whole idea of training a 6-year old boy, regardless of his own genius, to become the commander of a world army is a little disturbing. I guess the long and the short of it is, while I was never bored I was never really entertained, either.
