Enders Game

[jprovis]

Ender's Game is a brilliant book - definitely a classic. The rest of the series - blah. If I want to be lectured to, I'll turn up to class (rather than sitting on the lawns reading SF...)

They're making a movie to this book, I loved the book and I've read the whole series, it's strangely engaging. But they're making a MOVIE, can't wait, though it'll be like five years.

Really?? Do you know of a website or something?

 

[Araith]

Not sure, just type it into google or something, there was some news a few months ago that Card had written a script and was getting together with some people from some company to make the script for the movie, but it's still really early in the process.

Anyone read Shadow of the Giant yet?

 

[Blackmarch]

Anyone read Enders Game? Its one of my favortie books of all times.

Yep. Awesome book (and series).

I must say that what hit me most about ENders game and Enders shadow was how they were originally written in the 70 and the students had laptops. it blew my mind how this guy could think of all the technology back then.

But hey so did the star trek people.

Loved them all. Didn't know about Shadow Giants.

i loved ender's game and ender's shadow! I didn't particularly care for the rest of the ender books except maybe speaker for the dead. I love the books about bean though. I thought he was so cool i even named my fish after him! anyway great books.

I loved Enders Game. I also really like some of the later (and earliest) Alvin Maker stories. One of the best characters though it the Moozh in The Call of Earth, the best of that particular series (the last of which was a dissappointment).

Loved it, and liked Ender's Shadow even more!!!

ehehehe, I ordered Shadow of the Giant on Amazon yesterday. Should get here in a week or so. I'm so excited, but yet a little sad as well. This will probably be the last Ender book Card writes

I the Ender series, and don't know what I'll do when there will be no more books to look forward to. When

Spoiler: Children of the Mind

Ender died in Children of the Mind, I cried.

I know, I know, I'm a big baby, but these characters are fantastically written, and they're like friends. Ok, maybe I'm just a loser with no friends, which is also a possibility.

Anyone else feel this way about the Ender characters?

One of the best books I have read in the genre. I have heard a movie is actually in the works too. Hope it is made and well done.

 

[Gwendar Evergreen]

Another fan of Card here!

I've only read Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind, yet. I do plan to read them all.

I've also read three of the Alvin Maker books, and I like them a lot!

 

[rahma]

I just finished Shadow of the Giant. Has anyone heard any rumors about possible another off shoot series? I don't want to say too much, lest I spoil it.

I'm hopin for some more books in the enderverse, but it doesn't look too likely right now.

Well, can you tell us if you liked it?!

The beginning was good, the end was good, the middle was eh.

It has a rather cruddy portrayal of muslims as violent, backwards women haters, even 200 years in the future when we're all suppose to be reformed and women throw their hijab off in the street. I do like the portrayal of Caliph Alai, for the most part.

I can't say much more, although I'm dying to have someone with about it. Someone hurry up and read it!

 

[Telrunya]

I've read it. Overall I thought it was very good. I wish they had done more with Hot Soup like they did with Alai. I especially like how they all reached the final desicion they did. It would be interesting to see what has become of Bean's kids in the time of Xenocide. It's even conciveable that Bean himself would be alive still. Maybe he's in contact with Jane. If anyone could figure out a way to switch Anton's Key it would be her.

This is what I'm hoping for. Maybe I'll write Mr. Card a pleading, pathetic letter begging him to write it.
