Ender's Game, and other "Ender" series novels.

[MorphiasAC]

Just curious as too how many of you other PS fans have read the series? It is excellent, IMHO one of the best Sci-fi/Military Series I've read. PS really reminds me of the strategy that Ender and Bean adopt to get the job done. Anyway, just what the game reminds me of, and one of the reasons I can't wait to play.

[Tobias]

I have read 2 of em.

[Camping Carl]

I've read Ender's Game and Speaker for the dead. I thought Ender's game was perhaps one of the greatest scifi novels of all time, but I hated Speaker for the dead, so that was it for me.

[BladeRunner]

I read Ender's Game several years ago and enjoyed it immensly. Highly recommended to any sci-fi fan.

[Zatrais]

[Ginzue]

I read Enders Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide and Children of the Mind, all awsome books!

[zannal]

umm i dont want to sound like a newb but what is enders game about? iv heard of it but never read it.

[MorphiasAC]

If you don't like speaker, I would suggest moving straight past some of the books to Ender's Shadow. It basically tells Ender's Game from Bean's point of view. The other books follow bean on earth. Really excellent.

Basicall Ender's game is about a young boy taken into a military school in order to combat some aliens. Really, repeat Really!, over simplifying though. Give it a read.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Great series. I read Ender's shadow, which is the parallel book to ender's game, a little while ago and it was pretty good as well.

[BUGGER]

Enders Game......hmm...

Guess wehre BUGGER came from.:rolleyes:

Great series!

[Trol]

Awesome books. I've read Ender's Game, Speaker of the Dead, and Xenocide. Orson Scott Card (i think that is his name) is a great author. It was several years ago I read those three and had no idea that more were out in that series. Currently I went back to the Dragonlance series and reading The War of Souls trilogy (third one just came out in paperback). I'm kind of partial to Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman and loved all of thier Dragonlance books as well as the Death Gate Cycle books.

[Zumthor]

I read all of them. They were great. The new one is good too.:love:

[zannal]

yea my sister has enders game and ill give it a read after i finsh reading brothers war(its a magic the gathering book) i should finish it by next week or earlier.popcorn:

[Anam Nantom]

I have not read any of them, but have seen them alot in bookstores. I may give them a try, since you like the series alot.

[Fire_Monkey]

I read Ender's Game, and began Speaker for the Dead, but couldn't bring myself to read past the 10th page.

To all who are wondering:

Ender's Game is a story about a boy genius, being trained to be the best general on earth, in order to save the humans from a race known as the Buggers.

[Sir.Smokey]

I have read them all, including the bean book... I loved them all. By the end of the series the books had grown up in style and content with ender, showing the genious that is O. S. Card.

[Sir.Smokey]

Ohh yea almost forgot... for people who liked this series you should try "Seventh Son", its another O. S. Card series. Its an alternate history book... but by far the best of the genre. Ohh and a list of the book titles for the ender series for those who want to find them...

1. Enders Game
2. Speaker for the dead (you can get 1 and 2 together now)
3. Xenocide
4. Children of the mind

also there is a newer book out about Bean a character from the first book that is the story of what happened to him at the school. Its entitled "Enders Shadow." For casual readers (and younger readers) I recommend "Enders Game" (was my favorite book when I was a kid) and "Enders Shadow" (Its the same kinda defeating the odds, root for the underdog kinda tale).

And...to kinda extend on that, there are 2 books after Ender's Shadow, The Shadow of the Hegemon and Shadow Puppets. Alot of crack for Ender fans out there.

I Actually finished reading "Ender's Game" a couple days before this thread started and am now half into "Speaker for the Dead". "Ender's Game" had much more action than "Speaker for the Dead" has had so far. "Ender's Game" is a very good read for anyone who likes sci-fi.

"Ender's Shadow" follows "Bean" from "Ender's Game" and the story is told from his point of view.

[MorphiasAC]

Speaker, and the other "Ender" novels (not the whole series just those featureing Ender") really don't have much action. They are more moral questions. Well there is some action, but not like Ender's Game. That style is more like Ender's Shadow, and other "Bean" novels.

-edit BTW Children of the Mind is awesome:D

[NeoDrgnMech]

They should put warning labels on the sides of some of these books.

WARNING:The information in this book will cause you to have a 48-hour brain freeze. Reading for extended periods my result in a coma-like state.

[MorphiasAC]

Just because you can't stop reading. And when you finish you just start all over again.

This is the book that never ends...
it just goes on and on my friends...
some people started reading it just because...
and now they keep on reading it because...
it is the book that never ends...

[KrazyJester]

Best books i have ever read!!!!
