ENDER'S GAME, by Orson Scott Card

Yay! After a long hiatus (uh, someone fell into an epic fantasy binge-reading hole), I'm making Gaps progress again. Here's my review for Ender's Game. I'd love to discuss with anyone else who's read it.

Er...about Ulysses...(and actual achievements)

I bought it.

I read about three pages.

Then I made this sort of squeaky yelp and hid it under my bed. MASSIVE support group is required before I attack that one!

I have crossed two others off my list though. I enjoyed Enders Game by Orson Scott Card, although for some reason at the end I was reminded of my only cinema studies subject in my undergrad when the lecturer talked about homo-eroticism and Top Gun and then we watched it and my poor 19 year old mind was blown. The ending of the book was incredible (no spoilers)

Catcher in the Rye was incredible. Now all I need to do is build a time machine, travel back to the year 2000 and let my seventeen year old self read it. Just an amazing book.

Abandoned Book - Children of the Mind

Children of the Mind by Orson Scott Card is book four in the Ender's Game series. Although I managed to make my way through book three, Xenocide, I couldn't force myself to finish this one. I didn't make it far enough into the book to give even a partial review, but I did want to share that I've scratched it off of my list.

Xenocide, Orson Scott Card

Xenocide by Orson Scott Card is the third book in a science fiction series about a man named Ender. The first two books, Ender's Game and Speaker For the Dead were both good (although Ender's Game was my favorite). Xenocide, however, was not so good. There are some interesting characters, but the plot goes way out into left field, and I found myself losing interest about halfway through the book.
