AND NOW WE DELVE INTO SCI-FI
I just found out, like literally five minutes ago, that this is being made into a film. Don’t know how I feel about it yet though.
I just googled Orson Scott Card and every bone in my body hates this man.
BUT I LOVED HIS BOOK.
These feelings are so conflicted.
Basically, he’s Mr Homophobia. If there’s one thing that really annoys me, it’s homophobia. He’s so homophobic, in fact, he thinks it should be outlawed…
Google him, or youtube him, you’ll see what I mean.
BUT THE BOOK
This was amazing – again, my sci-fi reading is nothing on my fantasy- and when this book arrived I thought ‘this is gonna be another Hunger Games.’
It was better than the Hunger Games, in my opinion anyway.
It was detailed and to the point – exact but enthralling, conspiracies everywhere and everyone loves a good conspiracy. Basically, it’s about a futuristic kind of world where ailens seemingly are threatening to attack Earth and a select few kids – mostly boys – are being chosen to train, in space, to save the world.
Andrew Wiggin, or rather, Ender Wiggin is chosen.
This novel is fast paced and entertaining, and I loved it. Especially the parts about Valentine and Peter as well – I mean, how do you cope in your family if your brother is one so vile as Peter Wiggin?
And Valentine. Well, she’s just lovely, isn’t she?
I love the fact that all the kids are so damn clever though! I LOVE SMART KIDS. I love reading about them, watching them, and these kids are seriously the tip top. They’re elevated, intelligence wise, above the adults which makes for good story and endearing characters.
Read this book. Maybe. Though if I had known about Orson Scott Card being a bitch before I read it I probably wouldn’t have.
Let me know what you think, of both Orson Scott Card and the novel.
