Montez Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 It's my favorite novel. Pretty well liked, critically acclaimed, about a boy named Ender who is sent to into outer space to be a military genius, where other young boys are also trained for a similar purpose, which is to breed military geniuses to fight an alien species that nearly wiped out Earth before. It's kind of a simple plot, but the character work is amazing, and it's actually pretty mature. It's by the author Orson Scott Card, who has also written quite a few sequels and companion novels to Ender's Game, even though Ender's Game can pretty much stand on its own if you want it to. Anyways, discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montez Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 [quote name='Crab Helmet' timestamp='1342940484' post='5985294'] It's actually apologia for Hitler. And once you see it, you'll never be able to unsee it. [/quote] I guess I see what you're saying, but there are too many differences between Ender and Hitler for me to make any connection. Then again, I'm very ignorant of history, especially WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Warrior Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I saw this hoping it was related to the Enderman, but then I remembered that's Minecraft, not Slenderman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdall The Watcher Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Personally I'm a bit lost on all posts not by the original poster...but I'm a huge fan of Ender's Game, I've reread it a dozen times since my cousin gave it to me to read, and since then I've read the 'Shadow' spin offs (with Shadow Puppets being the best of those in my opinion), and I'm actually in the process of reading it again. [spoiler=Review]I love the cerebral aspect of it, the mind games, the characters, and all of the battle games, as well as Ender's personal growth from an intelligent but inexperienced child, to a jaded hero with something of a chip on his shoulder by the end. I also enjoyed the way his own siblings schemed their way into political power (though I apologize if I'm a bit mistaken on this, as I haven't reread it in a few years, and I just got to the beginning of their scheming now). All in all I recommend it to anyone mature enough to handle the more adult themes and language, basically anyone in their mid-teens at least, since that's about where people can start to appreciate the various aspects it handles so well.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapidfire Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 When I was reading it I could not put it down. It was amazing. Especially because anyone can relate to Ender. Well anyways I loved the book. It is an amazing work of literature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
?someone? Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I like it a lot. At the age when I first read it, his brother's thing for torturing squirrels freaked me out more than a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.WHAM Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I love this book so much. The plot though, it feels very complicated because of the matter of subjects discussed if so mature. I had to read this bok when I was about 1 or 12 so many of the concepts of maturity where hitting home home along with isolation. Bean is obviously an amazing Character and the development they've made in Peter is just so good. I really do love this book series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
