A review by abigcoffeedragon
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
4.0
I listened to the audio book of this, so I will leave out the voice performance - some were good and a few were not
The Good - the Science is there, it is beleievable and it is fantastic - whether it is acurate, I am not a scientist, so I do not know, but everythign has an edge to it that made me want to continue and I enjoyed all of the science in the story ... however
The Bad - the Fiction is lacking - I mean, the story is there, but I don't care about the story - I don't care about the characters - There were no surprises, even the ending (no spoiler) was meant to be a shocker I think, and it did not surprise me.
The Good Again - The military parts were also beleivable to a point as we were talking about learning a new type of fighting in the school and the formation and strategies and it was all also beleivable -
The Bad Again - how many times do we need to hear about the boys running around naked? - Military men do not do this, why would children who are more bashful - in the skivies I understand, t-shirt and shorts - but too many moments of naked that were not needed
Overall - I did enjoy this story, but I will not continue with any stories in the series, and I have serious reservations about the film when it comes out next year.
