I just finished reading "Ender's Shadow" by Orson Scott Card which is
the parallel book to "Ender's Game". By that I mean it's the same
story told from the perspective of two different participants (Ender
and Bean).

Once again, we have a stunning book with tremendous heart and soul. If
you haven't read these first two books in the Ender's series, then you
are missing out. Especially since these books are somwhat old and can
be purchased in paperback for very little money. I promise you, you
will never find a more productive, rewarding, and entertaining way to
spend that money.

I really like this book, but it didn't appeal to be as much as 'Enders
Game'. Perhaps because it was anti-climactic since I knew the ending.
Don't get me wrong, this was a thoroughly captivatind books, rich in
detail, complex in character, and once again a book that is guaranteed
to tug at your heartstrings while making you smile.

Rarely have I been as impressed as I am by these book.

I'm not sure if it was Shaun or Phoenixgood who said that 'Enders
Game' what the most perfect Science Fiction story ever written, and
after reading the books plus reading several reviews, I think you
would find very few people who would take exception to that statement.

Just telling like I see it.
