Only book that has made me cry

This is the only book that has made me cry. I cried when Ender died, (although he didn't die his aiua passed on to Peter) the character of Ender died. Through the series I have gotten so attatched to his character unlike any other character in any series. Through his guilt of xenocide, and hard ...
  
  











  



  
A War of Gifts: An Ender Story (Ender)42 reviews

Tor Books, 2007

Great short story...

I wasn't really sure what to think of this book before I purchased it. I'm a huge fan of all of the Ender's Game books, and actually I'm currently reading Shadow Puppets. Despite being very non-religious, personally, I found it to be a great story of tradition and beliefs with that childhood ...

First Meetings in Ender's Universe52 reviews
Orson Scott Card

Tor Teen, 2004

Great way to introduce your child to Ender

+ First Meetings--Fills In the Gaps!
+ Great novellas in the Ender series!

I read the Ender short story when it first came out (before the novel) and remembered it when I saw the novel. This collection of short stories, including the original short story version of Ender's Game is a great way to get a young teen interested in the entire set of story's as they grow.
  
  











  



  
The Ender Wiggin Saga1 review
Orson Scott Card

Audio Renaissance, 1999

Absorbing, entertaining listening.

This four-volume set of 9 cassettes recounts the entire saga of Ender Wiggin and is packaged together for maximum impact. The initial titles in the saga are brought to life in abridged works which also benefit from a dual narration by Mark Rolston and Barrett Whitener. The effect is uniform and ...
  
  











  



  
How to Write Science Fiction & Fantasy54 reviews
Orson Scott Card

Writers Digest Books, 2001

Short, sweet, to the point

+ Extremely Good
+ Good coverage of the Subject

This is an awesome little book that delves into the basics of writing speculative fiction from world building to publishing to dealing with family members who don't understand your need to write. I read one Amazon reviewer who didn't care for this book because everything in it is intuitive. Yes, ...

Listen to a well crafted story

+ Bean Rocks!
+ Bean Better Than Ender??? Possibly

For me there is nothing better than listening to a book on CD while chewing up a lot of asphalt during a road trip. I discovered this little gem 'Ender's Shadow, at the local library and became an addict to Ender, Bean, and the Shadow series as a result. For those of you that think you have to read ...

Most of all it was intellectually stimulating as it discussed many complex societal issues and ethical issues with out destroying the ...

Space Boy7 reviews
Orson Scott Card

Subterranean Press, 2007

good SF intro for kids

+ Interesting Story, Poor Character Development
+ Intelligent, family friendly Sci-fi adventure

It is short. It has pictures. It's a good gift for an 8 - 12 year old boy. It's the kind of book that could start a lifelong interest in reading. It's not badly written either.
  
  











  



  
Xenocide (Ender, Book 3)212 reviews
Orson Scott Card

Tor Books, 1992

An O.K. Book in the Ender Series by Orson Scott Card

This is the third book in Card's "Ender" series. After finding it hard to put the first two down, the third is a disappointment. Xenocide tries to span the known universe - with plots and sub-plots taking place on several of the 'Hundred Worlds'. It drags in a lot of places and is just too long ...
