"While Ender was originally supposed to be a set-up for Speaker, Ender's Game left a far greater impact on me, and I still find myself reaching for it today, even though the first time I read it was years ago. Every time I re-read the book, I find more hidden meanings and depth, making each read more exciting than the last."

"One of the first books I ever read seriously after a recommendation from a librarian who insisted I should read some higher-level books at a young age, I still find myself captivated and intrigued every re-read. The diction throughout provides the reader with a sense of melancholy or nostalgia, but allows you to feel more like you are talking to an old friend rather than lamenting a connection lost."

"I read this not long ago, and instantly it became one of my favorites. I saw the movie first, and while it is good, it doesn't hold a candle to the original publication. Sophie is headstrong and doesn't need anyone to rescue her, and Howl turns out to be a nerd who enjoys pretending to be old wizards and impressing Sophie. Sophie's sisters are one of the highlights of this book, and I love reading this book immensely. "
