UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments Suzanne!!! What did you think of Ender's Game?


Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog) | 630 comments I really loved it, Ender was such a great character I was with him all the way and the way they manipulated and pushed him was so horrific. I think it will be one of those books that stays with me.


message 369: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments I agree, I can't stop reading it, but my family won't stop pestering me, either.

Does he stay 6-7 through the whole book?


Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog) | 630 comments Lol, darn family, I lost track of time when I finished it, I thought it was 2 hours earlier then it actually was!

Nope, he does get older, I don't want to tell you how old as I don't want to give anything away!

Yep, I suggested it and I gladly take all the blame for the lack of sleep and other inconveniences :)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments Thank you!!!!! I'm at the part where the final "practice" has ended. I had a feeling that's what was going on, so I was holding my breath the entire time. Wow... what an amazing book!


message 396: by KK (last edited Nov 22, 2010 04:33PM) (new)

KK (kk84) | 317 comments Wow indeed! Sadly I haven't read rest of the Ender's Saga but I have read the Shadow Series that starts with an parallel novel to Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow and then goes on describing the lives of the children from Battle School after they are back on Earth. Love them all, nothing can beat Ender's Game but they are all fantastic.


message 397: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant (last edited Nov 22, 2010 04:36PM) (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments I wondered what Ender's Shadow was... and the title made me think that maybe it's what happens to the people who were "in his shadow" throughout his and their lives.


message 398: by KK (last edited Nov 22, 2010 04:47PM) (new)

KK (kk84) | 317 comments 11 books for 11th month
11/11
+ 9

1. Fabulous Beast - Stephanie James aka Jayne Ann Krentz, finished 11/2/10, 2*
2. Destined for an Early Grave (Night Huntress #4) - Jeaniene Frost, finished 11/3/10, 4*
It's amazing how action packed one book can be + what an emotional roller coaster, oh my, oh my. And it didn't go as I expected but now I have loads of questions :P
3. First Drop of Crimson (Night Huntress World #1) - Jeaniene Frost, finished 11/4/10, 3.5*
I liked it but this book has totally different flow than the Night Huntress' books, if you're looking for something similar you'll be disappointed but if you look beyond all that then it is a good paranormal vampire-demon romance.
4. Eternal Kiss of Darkness (Night Huntress World #2) - Jeaniene Frost, finished 11/6/10, 4*
5. Seduce Me - Carly Phillips, finished 11/7/10, 2*
6. The Darkest Edge of Dawn (Charlie Madigan #2) - Kelly Gay, finished 11/9/10, 4*
7. Slow Ride + Cowgirls Don't Cry - Lorelei James, finished 11/10/10, 3*
8. The Mane Event (Pride #1) - Shelly Laurenston, finished 11/11/10, 3*
9. The Beast in Him (Pride #2) - Shelly Laurenston, finished 11/12/10, 3*
10. The Mane Attraction (Pride #3) - Shelly Laurenston, finished 11/12/10, 3.5*
11. The Mane Squeeze (Pride #4) - Shelly Laurenston, finished 11/13/10, 4*

+ Bonus! Lets see how many books I actually do finish during the month :)
12. Beast Behaving Badly (Pride #5) - Shelly Laurenston, finished 11/14/10, 4*
13. re-read 11/15/10 Nine Rules To Break When Romancing a Rake (The Ralstons #1) - Sarah MacLean, 5*
14. Ten Ways To Be Adored When Landing a Lord (The Ralstons #2) - Sarah MacLean, finished 11/16/10, 3*
It was good but I was sort of looking for the same kind of humorous book as was the Nine Rules To Break When Romancing a Rake and that was not it.
15. The Mark (Henry Parker #1) - Jason Pinter, finished 11/17/10, 3*
16. Covet (Fallen Angels #1) - J.R.Ward, finished 11/18/10, 4*
Totally different from Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series, much slower and not so action packed but still fantastic. It's amazing how Ward creates most intriguing worlds and characters.
17. Crave (Fallen Angels #2) - J.R.Ward, finished 11/20/10, 3*
