I listened to this on my road trip with Julian. because he made me. sadly, I actually enjoyed it. In the future i will read more of the books. I like Bean. so i will read his story. bean bean bean!

Here’s where the Ender saga got tough to get through. Granted Jane (the first artificially intelligent being) is cool and can do a lot, but the Chinese OCD people are a lot annoying and there is too much family drama for my taste. Still it’s Ender and he kicks ass, but this was much more difficult to get through.

Picking up 3000 years after Ender’s Game Ender becomes the Speaker for the Dead in penance for his destruction of the Buggers, another sentient species. He and his sister travel throughout the galaxy looking for a place to save the last Bugger Queen. In so doing they travel to a planet inhabited by Piggies, another sentient species that at the close of their second life turn into trees. The only trouble is the Starways Congress is going to destroy the planet because of a sentient virus.

Not as much of a must read as Ender’s Game, but still ok.

This is one of those books that you have to read, if you like Science Fiction or not. Ender’s Game is the story of what humanity is capable of, both good and bad, the destruction and creation.
