Enders Game 1 - Ender's Game

allofakind shared a tip "Wow. Just wow. I read this book in two days and could've done one had I started it a bit earlier and didn't need to sleep. I had already seen the movie, so I knew the big twist, but the way the book lead up to it, I know I never would've guessed had I not already known, and I long for the ability to be surprised. And yet, the book still surprised me, in many areas. For one, I was really there with Ender, in his isolation, the silence that threatened to swallow him whole no matter where he went. Card truly knew the way to keep us just a small tiny step ahead of Ender, letting us look into conversations of the adults, while simultaneously keeping us somehow even more in the dark. I also have to say that the book makes it so you can actually love and have compassion for the humans at the end, not only the buggers, unlike the movie, which I remember making it feel like everything was our fault and on purpose. But, as Ender learns, there's a fine line between fear and anger, between cowardice and the first strike. An amazing book, one that almost had me crying at the end, just two pages from the end, when everything, EVERYTHING, was finally revealed. A quick two day read. It's 2 AM. I'm going to watch the movie and see how well they actually did."

jess_mao shared a tip "I read it almost 15 years ago, so it is a bit fuzzy. However, I remember particularly enjoying following Ender's progress in the virtual game. Something about a giant comes to mind. I read some others in the series as well, and remember loving Bean's story just as much."

selah_royer shared a tip "Ender's Game is such a great sci-fi novel. If you like this one, you may like Skyward by Brandon Sanderson. That book is one of my all-time favorites. Also, Orson Scott Card wrote The Gate Thief. I only read the first one but I really enjoyed it!"

william_monden shared a tip "Oh man that's hard. I don't really think I can narrow that down but these are definitely my favorites. Rightnow my favorite series if the enders game books in general. But rightnow I am reading the hobbit and it is really good so far."

tyler_thomas_4165 shared a tip "I have not seen the movie. I heard some mixed things about it so I probably won't see it. Did you like the movie? How does it compare with the book?"

lelia_mellen shared a tip "I don't think I've read anything else he's wrote, and according to the other comments he's an asshole, but I did enjoy this book a lot when I was younger"

abbigayle_mccall shared a tip "Read this as a summer reading book for my English class sophomore year of high school! I’m a big fan of space and sci-fi, so I remember enjoying it a lot! To be honest though, I don’t currently remember much of the story & I’d really like to reread it & continue with the series. Especially now that I’ve taken astronomy courses in college that I can compare to the novel."

jake_chant shared a tip "I'd check out love death and robots on Netflix. I know not a book but it's Sci fi usually have twists. It's a series of short stories with different animation styles. Some comedy some action. But I will say it is rated r there are sex scenes and also gore and violence. Each episode is only 15 ish minutes long so season 1 is literally the length of a short movie"

evelyn_moore_1541 shared a tip "I liked the conversation between Valentine and Ender at the lake. They have a fascinating relationship and Ender is very human despite his military genius and his alienation from his family."

stephanie_mckenzie_713 shared a tip "The harrowing emotional manipulation of Ender, a brilliant child, is an engrossing story. I have never felt for a character so much. #legacyscifi"
