This was a fairly quick read and a lot of the material is the same as the series. I was dissapointed with this book though because they changed things from the series. I think it could have been written better to add to the series rather than attempt to make them different.

Nice conclusion to the saga. Thought provoking, but felt there was too much going on.

Ender's Game (Ender, Bk 1) (Audio CD) (Unabridged)
Review Date: 8/1/2008
Helpful Score: 1


Ender's games is a must read. It is a book full of material that makes you think. I have also found that as I re-read it as I mature I glean more out of it. Card is a great author who intellectually entertains.

This collection of short stories is a must read for those who enjoyed the Ender books or for those looking to start reading them. The first two stories take place before Enders game and give a great background to Enders parents. The Enders game short story I didn't think much of because I had already read the book...but for those who haven't read it yet it is great. It will make you want to read the full version. I highly recommend this book.

This is a book that was good to listen to rather than read. I think I would have had trouble with it. An interesting story, but I found it dry.

This is a great book that is very biblically based. It works too. My wife and I have read this book several times and given several copies away to friends. Anyone looking to improve their communication with their spouse would do good to read this.


Love for a Lifetime: Building a Marriage That Will Go the Distance (Dobson, Dr. James)

This book was worth the read, and my wife and I read it together. However it is a one time read in my opinion.

This was a quick, entertaining read. I enjoy the books with the Night Watch in them more however. Worth reading though.
