          <body><![CDATA[I actually went and heard him speak last month in a bookstore in D.C.  I haven't ready any of his stuff yet (although my boyfriend has read his books on Benjamin Franklin and Einstein and said they were incredible), but after listening to him for an hour, I ended up forming a high opinion of him.  Really engaging. <br/><br/>I'll have to check this book out too!<br/><br/>Oh, also.  He's done a biography on Kissenger as well, if you feel like having him tell you more about one of the minds behind the Cold War. ]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[I LOVED this book.  I didn't read any of the sequels, but I did read <em>Ender's Shadow</em>, which is the exact same story, but told from the point of view of Bean.  I really enjoyed it as well.  I was worried it was going to be repetitive of <em>Ender's Game</em>, but it really wasn't.<br/><br/>Also, have you read Robert Heinlein's <em>Starship Troopers</em>?  I can't remember.  At any rate, it was great and reminded me a lot of <em>Ender's Game</em>.  If you haven't, I would check it out.]]></body>
