Re: Ender's Game Quiz
Two wrong. Not bad, but I thought I could do better. Maybe it's time for a re-read

Earth Unaware
So I just go my hands on the newly-released [i]Earth Unaware[/i], and I cannot wait to start reading it. How many of you guys have read it already? Any thoughts on how this book measures up to the rest of the series?

The Path of Wang-mu
"I know because I was also broken as a child and forced to become a wicked, conniving, selfish, manipulating monster in order to protect the fragile love-hungry girl who would have been destroyed by the life I had to lead. I know how it feels to be an enemy to myself., and yet I have set that b...

Re: What's your LEAST favorite Ender/Speaker Book?
I'm going to have to go with Xenocide. In retrospect, I understand that every nuance included in that book was vital to the plot line further down the road in Children of the Mind. Yet at the same time, the first time I read Xenocide it felt a little dry. Lots of information; no action. Not saying I...

Homecoming is a really good series actually. It's about a family who is summoned back to Earth after Earth has been abandoned for centuries. It's very different than Ender's game- less action than the Shadow series, and more science and psychology than the Ender series. But it does no harm to Orson ...

I think that Peter, the one on Earth, altered himself because it was beneficial for his career. I think that the real Peter is a genius. He grew up; he's no longer the bad, big-brother Peter that Ender knew as a young child. The Peter that Ender creates is simply the Peter that Ender knew, a bright ...

Telling the truth; Speaking for the dead
"It's easy to tell the truth," said Mother softly, "when you don't love anybody." "Is that what you think?" said Ela. "I think I know something, Mother. I think you can't possibly know the truth about somebody[i] unless [/i]you love them..." -Novinha talking t...

If by gifted child you mean child prodigy, then yes. Ender is a great example of a child over-achiever. But is he happy with that? Or is he even a child? No. Ender never wanted to be the gifted child. He hated when the other kids in Battleschool looked up to him as a teacher instead of a friend. He ...

Avatar in relation to Enders Game
I remember the first time I sat down and watched Avatar (the blue people one; not the asian one), I could'nt stop thinking about speaker for the dead, xenocide, and children of the mind. If you've seen the movie, tell me your comments on this: The tree of souls is the center of Navi life on Pandora....

this is a clever question. i think, as a young boy with emotions- Ender should be most upset about Bonzo and Stilston. Although they weren't nice, he did know them personally. And unlike those killed as a necesary sacrifice during the third invasion, Bonzo and Stilston didn't consent to their fate. ...

I'm not sure if its necessarily the relationships that are important. More important is the emotional level of the characters. For example, Petra is a romantic, and that part of the story is vital. Her relationship with Bean is important, but their relationship is a result of her endless attempts to...

falling in love with Ender
[b]Ender Wiggin[/b] I fell in love with him. Did anyone else? He's a genius, that's for sure. But he isn't cocky like Peter, he's selfless like Valentine. And he's not shy like Val, he's strategic like Peter. He has all of Bean's best qualities, with an emotional level that makes him human. He is co...

Bean and Ender
In the Speaker series, Ender dies in a literal sense but not in a theoretical sense because his spirit lives on in young peter and young val. In the Shadow series, Bean dies in a theoretical sense but not in a literal sense because he is on a starship going in and out of statis to prolong his life. ...

Upon first reading Enderverse as a whole, the shadow series has more of an appeal, i think, to a younger generation because these books are fast moving and action packed. although Bean's strategies and Peter's plans for world conquest take some thought, the Ender series is more intellectual when it ...

Just some examples of names used in ther series Homecoming. These names are original, not suprising for characters of OSC. But the origins of these names had to come from somewhere. They arent just random letters. Any ideas on their origin?

What happened to Bean? That is the biggest mystery left when all is said and done at the end of the Shadow Series.
