Ender's Game

[sarea]

I went out to lunch today and started reading Ender's Game.

Wow.

Why has no one ever rec'ed this book to me before? I'm only four chapters in, and I'm riveted. It might even pull me away from WoW. I'm not even a huge sci-fi fan. He almost had me in tears in chapter two. Is there anyone as w00bie as Ender? I don't know if he's actually going to grow up through the course of this book, but part of me hopes not. He's so the new Harry Potter. Only, he came before Harry. And I don't think I ever adored Harry the way I'm already starting to adore Ender. (HP has always been more about the amazing world JKR created, for me.)

Is it wrong that I'm getting Ender/Valentine vibes?

Yeah, as I told Myn, I had only heard of the book very peripherally, never in a way that made me want to read it. I'm not sure what your tastes are, if you're into science fiction at all. It's only recently that I've begun to develop any kind of appreciation for it (same for fantasy), but I'd say that this one is a fairly 'easy' sci-fi book to digest, if you were at all inclined. And if this one doesn't do it for you, sci fi may simply not be your cup of tea. We'll have to see how it goes as I progress w/ the book to see if my interest stays.
