I could have sworn I had replied to this thread. Ah, well. We gets forgetful in our old age, we does.

I don't know what alternate-universe version of "Ender's Game" the person who wrote that...can't even really call it a review, it's so vitriolic...read, but it's so off-base that all I can think of is that he (as I assume) is trying to make a name for himself by making outrageous claims about Card's writing. Pedophilia? I mean, really. That's just silly. And incest? There wasn't any incest in the "Ender's Game" I read. I can see where someone might make a case that some of the things the Battle School cadets were made to do, and especially the hell Ender was made to go through, might be considered abusive, but as I read it, one of Card's points was the extent to which adult society will abuse children if they think they can justify it as in defense of the society at large.

Anyway...I just wonder what Card's reaction to this was, if he is aware of it. I understand he kind of went ballistic when some woman reviewer compared Ender to Hitler in print awhile back. Can't say I blame him, either.
