My first day here and again I find myself agreeing with you Lace. Having read Ender's Game i found it to be an alright book. OSC does have a talent for keeping you interested, but the conclusion was just altogether to predictable.
And lets face it, he may have found an original concept for beating down the aliens, but its still just another way of
beating down the aliens. As Sci-Fi books go, Ender Game was pretty good, but thats not saying much in my opinion. As for all the little ad-ons etc, the copy of enders game I read actually included several of these in it, and they didnt really appeal at all. Seems like hes just trying to milk his great success, but who knows.
Also Lace if your looking for a Sci Fi book/trilogy I recommend the Quintara Marathon. Some of the concepts for the three societys are a lil unrealistic, but the characters are very real and in depth. And its not all guns either
