It was an allegory of the Book of Mormon.

After enders game the next of orson scott card books i read was the enders shadow series. I actually thought OSC might be a bit anti-religious in those ones! Bean does quote the bible but he doesn't believe in it, he makes some very good arguments againest it! So, I was really surprised when i found out that OSC is a practising mormon!
But in the speaker for the dead series, ender does seem to have found religion! Haven't read the homecoming yet though..

Hi,

I dont like to bad mouth books in general, but Enders Game has to be one of the most overated books I have ever read, it reads and feels like a cheap 80's sci-fi movie or at best a BBC childrens TV programme (Biker Grove in space) I would pass it on to others to read, but only if they are teenagers and they can use it as launch pad for better books. Does anybody remember that film where the kid goes into space to fight because he's good at an arcade game (last starfighter, i think). That was a bad movie, Enders is a bad, bad, bad book, nothing originall. On the other hand a child probably could handle Iraq better than Bush and Blair. Lets make a PC game sees who wins and get them to sort it out!

Cheers Stell.
