Ender's Game Books?

[lacrossedawg44]

Have any of you read this series of books? In my opinion these are some great books. The series is based on a 6 year old child who is monitored by the government, and sent to a school in space to become a commander of a ship that will fight the aliens that are trying to destroy earth. Well, thats the first one at least, there are 7 or 8 books in the whole series, but it all starts from Ender's game. I would recommend this series to y'all if you wanna read a type of science fiction thats not necessarily...well..."weird"(i dont really know the right word to use, but i mean those weird science fiction books that have a bunch of weird characters...hmm sry dont know how to describe it).

Dude I read that for summer reading for this year... and I just picked it up for re-reading like yesterday! The original, i mean... I need to get the rest of the series.

[gigo567]

Finished the whole series in less than 2 months. The last books branch off to other plots.

[Talent223]

Yea, I read them last summer for school. I think I finished al of them in less than a week. They were really good, and I think I might re-read them sometime.

u read them for school???? i love this entire series! i would highly recomend this series to anyone and everyone. i read most of the series, exept the last several bbok, i never got to them, but i plan to soon.

what grade did u guys read them in, cause if i get to read it this summer or soon i will be incredibly happy, espcially cause i absolutly hate summer reading.

[Talent223]

^^^^ yea, it was for summer reading going into 10th grade.

[gigo567]

But the series gets more complicated towards the middle of the series then goes back to being action packed.

true, and HELL YEA!!! im going into 10th, maybe i can read it :clap:

also, did u guys just read the ones from enders point of view, cause the other ones are also amazing, i think i may like them better.

also i was searching for all the books in the series and i stumbled upon this

if that is true that would be crazy

[destructivelax]

i like the shadow quartet too

[gigo567]

Isn't the last book 'Shadow of the Giant'?

[Foxfirebass]

I read Shadow of the Hegemon (and the one before it...not Ender's shadow. Unless I'm thinking of the one after. Can't remember names, heh) and got hooked again, but then couldn't find my books. :( Oh well.

Amazing series.

[lax4life6]

[laxattack17]

[mullengoal141]

I'm quite possibly THE ender fan. :thumbsup: firstly the movie has been stalling around for a few years, but thankfully Warner Brother's studios re-optioned the story at the beginning of this year. secondly, is anyone's favorite character not Ender wiggin at all?

[gigo567]

I like Peter and how he torchured squirrels, then became the hegamon.

[flyersrule9733]

Ender's Game-Ender's Shadow
Speaker for the Dead
Xenocide
Children of the Mind
Shadow of the Hegemon
Shadow Puppets
Shadow of the Giant

im not sure if that is the order, cause i think it seperates into 2 whole different things, the ones with ender and the ones with bean.

i will look it up tonight

and by the way my favorite character is bean

i read them all but i sorta like bean, not as much as ender though

[gigo567]

and by the way my favorite character is beanIts that order. Enders Shadow is Enders Game from a different point of view.

[JoshM]

I read all of them 3 or 4 years ago.

[bee_laxer5]

yeah they're really good books. did you guys know they're in the process of making the movie script for the Ender's Game movie?

[laxman37]

they are good books. I'm on Shadow Puppets, and my school and public library dont have it!!! Oh well, ill keep trying to find it....

[goalieskcickay]

bean's, just to clarify. I just finished re-reading Xenocide for the 100th time... I love them all. The Shadow books are easier to read because it's set on earth, but the other line is deeper/more meaningful, imo.

Pretttty much my favorite series ever. I read them all between 8th grade and the summer before ninth...but reread them from time to time

LOVE them
at the end they aren't as good, but stilll really good.

I loved Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, and Xenocide...but they were all great!

def recommend to anyone who hasn't read them

[Riot]

I read every book in the series when I was in 3rd grade, they're great. They get sort of weird after Speaker for the Dead.

[laxman37]

i meant as in local libraries and all, but i might end up buying it

[gigo567]

It is worth buying.

[laxman37]

Okay, thanks gigo, I will probably end up buying it now.

in 3rd grade???? wow

[VLax9Finisher]

Yeah I love these books. Well, I only read Enders Game and Enders Shadow, but I heard they were the best.

[XxlacrossexX]

I finished the Ender Series in 5th grade.Im on Shadow Puppets right now, but I need to pick it up from my local book store.

[Bobeo]

Can anyone tell me which of them are actually good? I read Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow and loved them but the others, from what I have been told, are much slower. I have only been recommended those two I mentioned above. So which of the others are "action packed?"

Shadow of the Hegemon and Shadow of the Giant are both good.

[AttackMan17]

I have to finish enders game for summer reading...stupid honors lit.
I only have a week to finish it.
But, so far i like it.

I thought so too. But if you read them enough times, it starts making more sense.

You think you have it bad??? I have to read the Iliad for Honors Hist. In a week.

[The H Hour]

ender's game is my favorite book ever!

[headlinenewsrox]

I started reading these in 6th grade and I still love them. Ender's game and Ender's shadow are probebly in my top 5 favorite books ever

[elementsk8r070]

I liked ender's game but didn't like ender's shadow so I could never finish it. Lucky for me, it was a summer reading book for 7th grade and I had already read it in 6th grade.

[Prince]

I love the Enders Game books. Also I heard their is going to be a movie coming out in a few years but it won't be as goog as the books.

[gigo567]

They said that there would be a movie a couple years back, now I have dismissed it as a Rumor.

[LaxBoy92]

i have to read that this summer. thanks for reminding me. it seems so-so, but i haven't actually read it.

[SJmiddi]

let me put it this way....i have read "Ender's Game" AT LEAST once a year since i first found it in my middle school's library 5 years ago. its one of my favorite books of all time and would recommend it to anyone. i actually just started getting the rest of the series and cant wait to finish it.

[lslaxer]

ddddddddddddddddddddddd

[berger1227]

i was assigned enders game for school and i went out and bought like 5 of the sequels...they were that good

[dtl42]

yo these books are so tight, every darn one of them, i love everything OSC has ever written except for the stupid ones about christopher columbus and stuff, ive read the ender series(all 8) atleast 4 and 1/2 times, the Homecoming series 2 times, the seventh son once, worthing saga all the short stories, i mean everything, He is my alltime favorite author, and i hope they dont make a movie cause the wll screw everything up and i will hate them forever, my fav chaaracters are peter, dink , and the ender/peter mix in children of the mind

[XxlacrossexX]

Shadow of the Hegemon and Shadow of the Giant are both good.
dont forget shadow puppets

[Birdman7260]

yea the order is:

Ender's Game-Ender's Shadow
Shadow of the Hegemon
Shadow Puppets
Shadow of the Giant
Speaker for the Dead
Xenocide
Children of the Mind

and yea the movie is not a rumor, it is including both ender's game and Ender's Shadow into one and looks to come out no sooner then 2008, but that only increases how amazing the effects are going to be for it, i cannot wait :D

[gigo567]

Thats the wrong order. The shadow series is a completely different series than the Ender series.

Real order is this:
Ender's Game-Ender's Shadow
Speaker for the Dead
Xenocide
Children of the Mind
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shadow of the Hegemon
Shadow Puppets
Shadow of the Giant
Even though he Ender would still be in space travel during the Shadow series the Shadow series takes place on earth. Totally different plot, it has nothing to do with fighting the buggers or anything.

[EndlesFimbulvet]

I read the summary of Enders Game on wikipedia a week or 2 ago, and Halo seems pretty similar to them. I definatly would not mind reading the Enders series.
