I originally downloaded the audiobook version for some light entertainment during my daily 30-minute commute to and from Central Campus. Clearly, these people have never read “Ender’s Shadow.” It’s a parallel novel to “Ender’s Game” that generally covers the same timeline, but is told from the perspective of Bean (a friend Ender meets at Battle School). I’ve always heard that “Ender’s Game” was a one-hit-wonder, that every other book Card has written is more inaccessible political philosophy than good fiction. So, I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to read “Ender’s Shadow.” It’s the type of book that makes my heart ache so bad I have to remind myself it’s not real - “Ender’s Game” is sharp and unforgettable, and I’ll never grow out of it. I love “Ender’s Game” because it’s intriguing and original, and Ender’s thoughts always surprise me no matter how many times I read them. When people ask about my favorite book, I always say it’s “Ender’s Game” by Orson Scott Card.
