I read Ender’s Game for the 1st time in 1988 while waiting inline overnight to buy tickets to a Who concert… (yes we used to do that) … I was 18 at the time.
I remember thinking that night that this is one of the best books I have ever read – can’t wait till the movie comes out (the copy I held in my hands had the “soon to be a major motion picture” tag on it even then…)
Many years later… this is still one of the best pieces of fiction I have ever read … In my humble opinion it holds its own against the seminal SciFi/Fantasy publications (LOTR, Dune, 2001, etc) and puts the current “teen fiction” (<cough cough> twilightlighteningthiefhungergames) genre to shame. People used to just write good stories – not write to niche markets as dictated by editors… but I digress

Very much looking forward to seeing Ender’s Game on the big screen … I sincerely hope it is a true interpretation and not a reactive Hunger Games “clone”…
