Summary: Ender through the years
Comment: I read Ender's game when I was very young and absolutely loved it. Everyone told me not to read the next three books because they were boring. Well, when i was eleven, I listened to them and I am very glad that i did because i know now that i would not have been able to appreciate them at that age. As the years went by, I was terribly curious to see what the negativity was all about. I can say that that they are excellent books and i still find myself thinking about them often. (I read them two years ago)They are more thought provoking and well, I feel like i am growing up with Ender. They are just fabulous books.

Summary: Orson Scott Card: Beyond Ender's Game
Comment: All three of these books put together in one collection was a great idea. I had trouble finding these books seperatley at a resonable price. As other reviews have said, these books are much slower paced than Ender's Game and the parrallel series that follows mainly Bean and Petra. But, their content is great with very thoughtful story lines. For those people that just want the fast paced and high intensity action books, stick with Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon and Shadow Puppets. But if you want to find yourself actually thinking during a book, get this set.

Summary: An incredible writer...
Comment: I also read Ender's Game in 8th grade (i'm now 16) and was astonished by the clear and quick writing and action packed story. The following summer i picked up Speaker for the Dead and started off rather disappointed by the slow, pensive prose that proved difficult to sit through, at first. After accepting it for what it was, I realized that Card's writing was slower, but nonetheless incredible. In these three books, which read like a trilogy more than sequals to an original, are packed with social commentaries and modern references that really make you think about our society as we experience it. Though it takes a while to get going, these novels have a deep, rich, suspenseful story line that keep the pages turning. Ender's game reads like an action movie, play by play, blow by blow, all linear and in order. These novels have recurring themes, changing ideas, plot lines and characters that come and go and all come to a climax in the end of Children of the Mind. Trust me, if you just suck it up and deal with the technical writing of Speaker for the Dead and the dense analytical philosophy of Xenocide (both of which i appreciated and enjoyed, but were rather slow going) Children of the Mind really brings it all together. If you skip these three, you'll be sorry you did.
