You flame

Postby Crazy Sam » Wed Apr 11, 2012 5:40 pm

What is your least favorite part of the books? Anything for any reason.

Mine is after the fight at BS in the BR with the older kids. Three of the kids are congratulating Ender and one says "You flame" to me this always seems odd and I know flames are dangerous and what not but it seemed like a reach by OSC to find cool slang. No offense Orsen!

What about you guys?

I so agree with you on that...

Eh, thinking about it it does seem like that but I listened to the books on audio because of my eyes and the narrator really caught the rhythm of the slang and spoken the way he did it it sounded pretty cool.

Bear in mind too that these are children. Kids often say things that seem funny or cool to them and older kids just look at them and say, "U-huuh."
Meanwhile the only thing I really didn't like about the series is the way that Ender did and said things around Bean in ES that weren't spoken about in EG and some of the scene's meanings were different so EG or ES feels misleading when you read the other one.
