I have had much to say about the second book in this series. All good things, I promise. Therefore, it won't come as a surprise that I loved the first one, as well! The ending blew me away even when I have become so jaded about last-minute twists that change everything. Check this one out!
Probably should not have waiting this long in my life to read this book. A very different look at the future and the minds of children. I especially enjoyed the author's introduction as he talked about the ways that gifted kids think and create in their heads and how adults can never quite get that right.

Finally finished the book. Now I can watch the trailers... Will review later.
Finally read it because Mark told me he'd go see the movie without me and I would really be mad to have the ending ruined. Pretty good stuff.
This is my favorite book of all time. I typically don't enjoy books with boy characters as much as I enjoy those with feminine leads, but Ender did change my mind. I found the surprising and eventful plot-line combined with a deep dive into the intellect of the characters to be outstanding. They don't occur that often (in the first book at least) but there are some random religious sentiments that mostly have to do with reproduction. Read at least this first book if you want the adventure of a lifetime!
Warning: if you continue to read the series the author's religious perspectives on marriage and reproduction get way more frequent and start to majorly influence the plot (to my eternal dismay because I don't agree and otherwise I CANNOT stop reading).
