Ender's Game
4 journalers for this copy...
I read this years ago, and the others that followed - Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind - but I haven't read the others that followed. Anyone who's into sci-fi should at least give this one a try, because they can stop with this one, as it''s a self-contained, complete story with a satisfying conclusion. Or they can keep reading the others and discover what happens to someone who, as a child, likely already made their biggest contribution to humanity. Like many child actors, does Ender Wiggin squander his gifts and end up imprisoned, addicted to drugs, dead at an early age? However, this is supposed to be a review of just Ender's Game, and he certainly doesn't do any of those things here.
Picked up at September Boston MeetUp. I took an online quiz that purported to tell you what book you are and I was this one, which I'd never been interested in reading but as it showed up at the MeetUp, I grabbed it and we'll see.

Picked up at the February BookCrossing Meetup at the Algier's.
A great book and wonderful to get reacquainted with it. To be released at the July 2009 BookCrossing Meetup in Harvard Square, Cambridge.
My friend really likes the Ender's Game series so I thought I'd give it a shot.
