Ender's Game

Woden

i was just wondering if any one else has read anything by orson scott card especially ender's game, i read the entire saga and the first two books of the shadow saga and thought it was all good, anyone else familiar with his works?

I've read a lot of them. Card can be quite irritating at times but Ender's Game is almost flawless a fantastic book. I quite enjoyed Speaker for the Dead and Songmaster as well but a lot of his other stuff left me cold. Like the five Earthborn, Ships of Earth etc books my goodness they're dire.

I've heard tell that Ender's Shadow is worth a look I must pick up a copy.

i was wondering what the earthborn series was like thanx for the opinion, yeah the shadow series is very good more along the line of ender's game then the other books, actucally there selling enders shadow in hardback in chapters on abbey street for 5 euro at the moment if your interested (new but looks like its been there a while)

Yes, read all of the Ender books..
Really enjoyed them... Particularly Ender's Game.. Riveting reading..

Interestingly, he is also very well known for his Mormon writings and publications for the Church of LDS - Also great works of Science fiction?!

There has, according to a book on war games I read many a year ago, been at least one NATO war games seminar with Ender's Game as the subject.

Absolutely amazing book - I litreally couldn't put the thing down... a nearly flawless masterpiece.

P.S. Is that offer still on on Abbey Street :P? Pft, I just paid 9 euro for Speaker for the dead softback last week - 5 euro for a hardback ender's shadow would be fantastic...

far as i now they still have some copies they are doing a bit of a clear out, there on a rack in the middle of the store near the sci-fi section.
