It's one of my favourite books. I don't think I like either more than the other, because you get to really like both Ender and Bean.

Have you read all the sequels to each, too?

Well, i tried...But that didn't work out to well. I actually got the idea of reading it from my friend. It's a long story...well not really and then again, i have time :) me and my friend have this...competetion between reading books. (Ex. if i have read a book she hasn't and vice versa.) She read Enders shadow and kept on pestering me, so i read it and instantly fell in love. Seriously, i could not put it down. I was so excited to read teh others but when i got it, it was really long and the print was small. I read the first page and was like, "o_O What?????" Heh.

Well, I really like the sequels to Ender's Game, though they're a bit harder to get into, especially Xenocide. However, the Ender's Shadow sequels are good too...I'm currently waitng for Shadow of the Giant to be available on Amazon UK.

In case you don't know already, the sequels are:
Ender's Game
Speaker for the Dead
Xenocide
Children of the Mind

Ender's Shadow
Shadow of the Hegemon
Shadow Puppets
Shadow of the Giant

Yeah, i totally agree. I read the whole series :P In case you didn't know, theres a third book called "the amber spyglass". And i saw this book called "Lyras Oxford."


Yeah, I know about the third one and Lyra's Oxford. I got the boxed set, which came with the trilogy, and I read about Lyra's Oxford on a fansite. :)

Oh, I'm very familiar with the series :) I own all of them and have read them many times, and I'm mad that the release date of Wizards at War went from Spring 2005 to October. :x

Took me like 4 days, and that was only 'cause I didn't have all the copies at once :P

I loved that series. Took me about a month, 'cause my mum first ordered me numbers 1 and 6, and then I ordered some from Amazon UK and some from US. =P

Reading Deryni Rising (I think), which Stu highly recommended to me. Not too far into it, but it's quite good so far.
