This is my favourite book, along with A Clockwork Orange. Strongly recommended for people who like nice action and an innovative, yet simple, storyline. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

For all the fans and such, if you haven't noticed, they're making a movie! I found this link: http://www.frescopictures.com/movies...me_update.html
Notice that the date is very recent, so it's not some rumor from 2001.

I think they're going to screw it up somehow. It's near-impossible to make a movie that would appease fans of a great book(Stanley Kubrick with A Clockwork Orange and Peter Jackson with LoTR are good exceptions).

It was a good book, high on my sci-fi list, too bad the rest of the Ender series gets very weird. Some very innovative concepts in Orson Scott Card's writing.

I have the unabridged Fantastic Audio version of Ender's Game as well as the paperback. The audio version is very, very well done, with a six reader cast and worth the money. Unfortunately it is on cassette. I could transfer it to CD, but that takes about double the amout of time it takes to listen to the book normally. It is one of the best SF books I have read. My wife doesn't like SF at all. But, she read it straight through in one night. That shows how strong the story is. She couldn't put it down.

Jeez, that book's over 300 pages! Ok, they're small paperback-sized pages, but still... I thought I was a fairly fast reader -- several times I've finished a novel over a weekend, but one night?

Now that I'm thinking about it again, I'll have to dig up my copy & reread it. It's been a few years.

Ender's Game is one of my favorites! Hmmm... a movie...I am cautiously opti-mystic.

I also particularly enjoyed it's parallel novel Ender's Shadow and the sequel Shadow of the Hegemon. I have not yet read the next book in this series titled Shadow Puppets.

FYI- Orson Scott Card is writing an upcoming Video Game. It is called Advent Rising and it is being developed for PC & XBox.

One of his first books Treason which is AFAIK out of print is also a favorite of mine. I got lucky and found it in the library.

Yeah, the wife is scary when she really gets into a book. Though I read Morgan Llywelyn's "Red Branch" and "Finn Mac Cool" in one day. (not both consectutively, each took a day) Started at about 4pm and read till about 1pm the next day nonstop. Those were really great books in my opinion. I have the other Ender books except for Enders Shadow. There were a gift from a friend. I still haven't read them though.
