Book Review: Ender's Game

[ham_01]

I finally read Ender's Game yesterday...

I thought the book was fantastic... definately one of the best Sci-Fi books i've ever read. The characters were fascinating, specially Andrew 'Ender' Wiggins. (I love the nick 'Ender' btw)

The plot was great fun.. I mean.. who doesn't like 6 year olds playing war games against each other and training to become

You HAVE to read Ender's Shadow. Completely changes how you look at the story--and makes it so much better. *smiles* Glad you liked it, though! Yaaay for finally reading it!

I will. I will. It's added on my reading list.

Yeah, what Luna said. Also, reading the sequels to Ender's Game is good, too, although they're different. :)

I second that. Overall, I think the Ender's Shadow series is even better than the Ender series.

You will probably like the sequel to Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead. Xenocide was a bit disappointing -- it was good for about 9/10ths of the book -- then the ending got cheeze-whizzed. The fourth book I have purged from my memory.

This is one of my all time faves, too! Although I have a tender spot for the sequel, Speaker for the Dead. It's quite different though, and heady as heck. Loved it.

Yep. It had everything going for it. I just loved those battle games. *Is a geek*

Well, from what you said, it doesn't really sound like my kind of book...but there is precious little sci-fi out there that I actually enjoy reading. Maybe I'll give this a shot sometime, though, since you all seem to like it so much.
