if you ask me, ender's game is the best sci-fi of all time, and i am a sci-fi geek, a star wars freak, and have studied the sci-fi genre almost religiously over the last year. yes, i might say enders game is slightly predictable when i look back on it, but the first time i read it it blew my mind. i...

Novinha, Libo, and Marcao

Although she loved Libo, Novinha refused to marry him because it would give him acess to all her private files. It was because of information in these files that Pipo, Libo's father and the colony xeonlogist, had discovered information that Novinah believed had led to his death. She feared that Libo...

i agree with crazy tom. i cried for 3 hours at the end of shadow of the giant, no joke. yes it is a bittersweet ending. but i think she should at least get to talk to him by ansible again before she dies or something. his leaving was so sudden; if he really loved her, which i believe he did, he woul...

i believe these books are real life, or will someday be real life
in this way i believe speakers, as created in the enderverse series, should exist in the real world. but this is not necessarily a religon.

At the end of Shadow of the Giant, Bean leaves earth with his and Petra's children who have the genetic disease Anton's Key. Against Petra's will, they get a divorce, and Bean leaves her with almost no time to say goodbye. His leaving makes him almost dead to her, but if he had stayed on earth, he w...

the ships should be vary according to age because it takes hundreds of years to travel at lightspeed and the ships arriving at different times would have been sent at different times. there would be advancements in the newer ships such as weapondry. but i think classifying them by age would make it ...

looks like someone is super supportive of peter, crazy tom. i agree with you that achilles shouldnt have killed adults because they were stupid. but peter isnt the most peaceful person either when you take into consideration his many threats to kill ender. also i find it slightly hypocritical how be...

i do agree with most of what you were saying. but take into consideration that peters actions werent always peaceful. in many ways, he neglected his use of the hegemony army and bean. the line is thinner than you think.

I would adore playing Petra Arkanian because she is my idol and i legitimately wish i was Petra. The only problem is im no where near as fearless and bold as Petra. My personality in real life is much more that of Valentine Wiggin in the sense that im pretty damn smart but i dont really stand up for...

one of the most contraversal qualities about Ender Wiggin is that he is not all good. Stilston's death is the first time as a reader you experience Ender's violet side which later leads to many events that would not have been understood as well if you did not understand Ender's contraversial qualiti...

although i like the EG and shadow series alot more than Homecoming, i still think Homecoming is amazing because OSC is one of the most amazing writers of all time. i love how Nafai is almost as flawed as Elemak which brings about a certain realism to the book. i think that the way the keeper of eart...

What draws the line between Peter and Achilles?

you cant call achilles 100% evil without second guessing peter wiggin and his motives. essentially, they wanted the same thing. one major difference i would state is that achilles worked by himself and was often a traitor to the people he had promised to help. peter, on the other hand, had an idea a...

[b]why do people favor the ender series over the shadow series? in my opinion, the ender series is very good and full of science fiction ideas that i honestly pray will come true. but if you look at the way the world is going right now, the shadow series is extremely accurate. plus the characters ar...
