Yeah, it's a really good book. I'm interested to see how you like it. The ending can turn some people off. |

I've read it a couple times over the years and the other books in that series. Loved the story of ender, didn't care much about the books he wrote staring the other characters though. Still one of my favorites though. |

Sounds good. I've already read the first 4 chapters. Looks like it'll be a pretty quick read. I'm liking it so far. The 80's era insults are already getting a little old though (Fart head, fart eater, fart mouth etc). |

That's strange there was actual cussing when I read it. I do know for some of the reprints and different editions it was edited differently maybe you just got one of those. |

D'oh! I got an old beat up paperback. $2 on Amazon, so maybe it's a "for school-use" version or something. edit---Yep, there's a "North Attleborough High School" stamp inside. lol Did you guys hear about the movie? Supposedly there's one in the works. Which is one of the reasons why I wanted to read this now. Edited by Strife, Apr 9 2011, 08:27 AM.

I've heard murmurs, but I haven't taken em seriously. It's like Watchmen was to me. Every couple of years they're supposed to be making it and half a dozen new scripts have been written. Who knows, maybe this'll also finally come to fruition. It reminds me of this, though:

Finished it. Think I may have to re-read the very last few pages, because it has left me with a very strong WTF feeling... Overall I really enjoyed it, but the very ending ...I'm not so sure about. |
