I don't know anything about Artemis Fowl, but to answer Jebus's questions: - Superman beats the Hulk - Spider-man beats Batman if it's a random encounter, but Batman wins if he's familiar with Spidey's powers and has time to prepare. - Flash Nuh-uh. Speedy beats Flash anyday. Harry Potter was the c...

... ... And then, due to the whole soul-sharing business, Ender is able to visit Young Peter from the Outside Netherworld and guide him, teaching him how to manipulate the Philotic Treads of the world to his bidding... So then Peter becomes this powerful Force--I mean Philotic Bender and uses his po...

Word: Jeesh
Meaning: army
Origin: Arabic
In a sentence: Bean and Petra were part of Ender's jeesh.

I just thought of something--mind it's farfetched, but I want to talke about it anyways. What if, and I'm only saying what if, not that I'm even 1% sure that this is even possible, what if Starways Congress is so deeply corrupted that the congress is in league with the Descaldores. Or another theory...

Peter, hands down. Personally, I find Ender's character a bit... too good. Peter's character is more believable, and I can relate to Peter's emotions more. The Shadow series, espeically Giant, was a great expansion on Peter's story. They were the books that made Peter my favorite. And then I read Xe...

What makes OSC such great writer is that he is able to create circumstances that, in real life, would really have that sort of effect on the world. I think that if there truly some common threat to all of humanity, there should be no reason all of Earth should unite... but then there're religious te...

One of my favorite dialogue is the one with Valentine, Novinha, and Plikt. I just find it funny (excuse my humor) despite the tense moment. "She wants me to wake him up," said Novinha, "and tell him he can die." "Can I watch?" said Plikt. Novinha took the waterglass fro...

Bean WAS smarter and quicker than Ender. Bean DID protect Ender and work to help him in every facet of the game. This IS canon because it WAS written by OSC in ES. Just as the books of the Bible are considered canon because they are included in the Bible and the Gnostic gospels are not. This, howev...

My first post! When you want to wish yourself Outside, but are afraid to try too hard in case you go Out but not back In. When you get your friends started reading Ender and then when you nag your friends to finish reading series, and then get mad at them for reading something else first. When you t...
