Book Reviews of Ender in Exile
Book Review: ender in exile
Summary: 5 Stars
i bought my first "ender" in a second-hand bookstore and that began
my oddysey. what a great series! i started reading scifi in the
1950's when i 10 yrs old and it has been a lifetime interest. somehow i missed Orson Scott Card. this is a tightly written novel
of a boy, a group of gifted children and a civilization in trouble.
this sounds corny and overblown but with Mr.Card you become a brother,a group member and part of this world in every way. I am now in the process of acquiring the rest of his books. Start with
"ender's game". it will be well worth yours effort. your imagination will love it.
Book Review: A great read for anyone who has read the original series.
Summary: 4 Stars
The addition of another charector and her experiences with a maniupulative Mother was somewhat surprising. I liked that the story delves back into the mind of Ender before he was completely grown up and basically boring. He's basically struggling with maturity in this story while being borne with yet another set of extraordinary responsibilitys. Not a whole lot of action in this one but a good story with some neat turn of events. He filled in a lot of the gaps that I didn't even realize existed in the first series. I liked it and am glad I invested the time to read it.Book Review: Fun But Not Deep
Summary: 3 Stars
A "midquel" to the Ender's Game series, taking up events that occurred within the first novel. The original idea in Ender's Game was very compelling, and the sequels, prequels, and this "midquel" are entertaining, building on that original idea.
This one focuses on Ender's coming to grips with what he has done -- his guilt, maybe, and regret, maybe, for his actions in Battle School and the War.
It's fun, not deep, even though it deals with serious issues.
Book Review: A worthy addition to the Enderverse
Summary: 4 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised to find this on the bookshelf, and I am continually surprised by Orson Scott Card. He seems to have a solid grasp on human nature and bends it to his will in all his characters. I am glad that Card decided to go back and write about the teenaged Ender. I am also pleased that he tied this to his parallax Shadow series. While this is not as thought-heavy as the other novels, revisiting Ender's world is always a treat.

Book Review: It's ok
Summary: 2 Stars
I've read all of the Ender books that Card has written, but this one just feels like he's running out of steam or that this should have been part of one of his other books. I finished reading it and thought "what was the point?" It provides some exposition and fills in some gaps left by the other stories, but the plot is pretty thin. If you're an Ender fan, read it, you;ll get something out of it, but if you're not, go with one of the other books in the series.
