I LOVED this book! Orson Scott Card understands how gifted kids think better than any other author I have ever read. There are 2 other series that spring off of Ender's Game, one detailing the rest of Ender's life (set 1000's of years after Ender's Game) and the other starts with a novel that parallels Ender's Game (Ender's Shadow). Personally I like the second series better, but that's just my opinion. These books delve into psychology, physics, military strategy and much more. I LOVE Orson Scott Card! |
