Ender's Game
You must login or register to view this content.
Enders game is an easy read, but doesn't stop it from being an amazing story. I've read it twice, and both times couldn't put it down. It's a science fiction/fantasy genre. Great for people that enjoy space & war.
From Amazon Review
"Intense is the word for Ender's Game. Aliens have attacked Earth twice and almost destroyed the human species. To make sure humans win the next encounter, the world government has taken to breeding military geniuses -- and then training them in the arts of war... The early training, not surprisingly, takes the form of 'games'... Ender Wiggin is a genius among geniuses; he wins all the games... He is smart enough to know that time is running out. But is he smart enough to save the planet?"
From Pulishers Weekly
"For the 20th anniversary of Card's Hugo and Nebula Award–winning novel, Audio Renaissance brings to life the story of child genius Ender Wiggin, who must save the world from malevolent alien "buggers." In his afterword, Card declares, "The ideal presentation of any book of mine is to have excellent actors perform it in audio-only format," and he gets his wish. Much of the story is internal dialogue, and each narrator reads the sections told from the point of view of a particular character, rather than taking on a part as if it were a play. Card's phenomenal emotional depth comes through in the quiet, carefully paced speech of each performer. No narrator tries overmuch to create separate character voices, though each is clearly discernible, and the understated delivery will draw in listeners. In particular, Rudnicki, with his lulling, sonorous voice, does a fine job articulating Ender's inner struggle between the kind, peaceful boy he wants to be and the savage, violent actions he is frequently forced to take. This is a wonderful way to experience Card's best-known and most celebrated work, both for longtime fans and for newcomers. "
If Ender's Game was not enough, Orson Scott Card added more to the story! keep on reading!

Just like reading a book, so full of detail & epic side stories you just can't get in a movie. I read the whole lord of the rings tril, and the movies can't compare. BTW Lord of The Rings tril was probably the toughest but most satisfying books i've ever read.
When i read a book i actually imagine myself as the main character and everything you read is going on around you, its quite peculiar yet thrilling. I just cant get into that 'zone' whilst watching a film, you seem like a spectator.

Ender's game is a great read. Highly recomend it.
Real easy to read for a sci-fi and fast too.
Other great sci-fi are Dune and the rest of the series and the martian chronicles.
Memoirs of an invisible man is a great read ( ruined the movie)
Lord of the rings trilogy is a must.( Good movies )
So many good books to get lost in and learn about life.
Have read 1 a week since I was 13 and at least 2000 read so far.
Although several have been read more than once.
Always try to get in 1 non-fict a month.
Another great on is the frontiersman
About Simon Keating during the daniel boone era( that was one tough guy )
