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!

The ignorance of some people man. If you got nothing good to post, don't post just for the sake of it or to try and be funny, 9 times out of 10 you're not.

OT: I'm a big fan of reading, used to do alot more than i do now though. Last book i read was Congo by Michael Criton. You may remember the film version, which was obviously shit due to it being someone else's interpretation of the characters, but the book is a top read.
I'm into thrillers, sci-fi, fantasy and old school style books, also like me abit humour, providing its been done in good taste, can't stand army style books or books about wars in the present day, its truthfully uninteresting and uninspiring!

Lady, ever read 'The Kite Runner'?? If not i suggest giving it a read, can be uplifting in parts and sad in others, but overall its a beautiful story to follow. Also the author has written a couple of others in the same vein, worth checking him out.
