“As a species, we have evolved to survive. And the way we do it is by straining and straining and, at last, every few generations, giving birth to genius. The one who invents the wheel. And light. And flight. The one who builds a city, a nation, an empire.... Human beings are free except when huma...

From what I've interpreted, I feel that the Monitor is meant to literally see through the child's eyes, walk in his shoes. It was obviously tied deeply into the brain, and judging by some of the comments made by Peter and some IF people, I would assume it was able to read all bodily functions such a...

I'm forced to agree that it's a fantastic way for OSC to continue the series, I mean with 5 main characters, whom are all very loveable... Peter (with Ender's aiua of course), Wang-Mu, Jane, Miro AND Bean, the book has alot of potential. With all of Bean's kids too, and the plot of overthrowing Cong...

I was far ahead of the rest of my grade 9 english class, and the teacher told me to take a week off from class. So on the third day of having a spare period, I decided to look for a decent book in the library to pass the time. A very nice girl a few years my senior suggested it to me as I was browsi...

THE HUMAN SPECIES WASN'T EVEN BEING THREATENED BY THE BUGGERS ANYMORE. The buggers just allowed themselves to get wiped out except for one queen. They had realized humans were not a threat to them and that they were individuals so they traumatized Ender for life for nothing really... are you kiddin...

Although it may not be completely believable to US, the fact is that the novel takes place in the future, where the human race had already been to war twice against an alien species. The scathing of China and the battle in the Belt that Mazer won had untol effects on all of mankind. So although we m...

In the book, Ender while playing the games, Ender always seems to have to go outside of the games limits and break the rules in order to win. A great example of this is in the mind game, where he ends up fighting the giant after repeatedly choosing the wrong cup. Is he justified in doing this? Well...

I think you are misunderstanding the context of what is said here, as I have been reading the series myself lately, Bean says in the note to Petra "I will call the Andrew with me Ender, because that's what we called him when he was born. The Bella with me I will Carlotta. We will call the petra...

Ender, Peter, Bean, Alai, Suriyawong, Petra, Virlomi, Mazer, Carn Carby, Olhado, Miro, Wang-Mu, Jane, Novinha, Rooter, Human, Planter & The Hive Queen.

And a nod of recognition to Pol Slattery & William Bee, for their very modest actions after being defeated, outnumbering Dragon Army 2 to 1.

If you have only read Ender's Game, and not the parallels or sequels, I strongly suggest that you do. The stories of many of the Battle School kids gets expanded on to a degree that leaves you almost baffled by their amazing and believable growth as human beings. As for Peter's serial killer like qu...

Exile / SotH Inconsistencies

Lately I have been reading the entire Ender series from a chronological beginning to end. I began with Ender's Game, then Ender's Shadow. After plowing through the Shadow series, I jumped into Ender in Exile, only having read it once before. During my relentless reading, I noticed some slight differ...
