Query: Should have left it as a short story

It is quite obvious that this was originally a short story. It should have stayed one. Instead, Card added 400 pages of side stories that never tied into the main plot line. Read the last 50 pages and skip the rest. I understand that there are many people who praised this book and I can only assume that they share Card's faith and enjoyed the detailed description of life as a Mormon. But if you pick up the book, read the synopsis on the back and buy it based on that you'll be fooled as 90% of the pages are unrelated to the "main" story. I kept getting angry as the story went no where until the last few pages. Skip it.
