I loved Ender's Game through and through. There wasn't a dull moment. It only took me about a week and a half or so to read it, my quickest read in months. Shortly after my midpoint analysis I came to my final conclusion about the point-of-view. It is third-person omniscient that happens to be rather limited, not third-person limited as I originally thought. I gave the book 5/5 stars on goodreads.
I tore through the next book in the Ender Quartet, Speaker for the Dead, in only three days. Other than the half-annoying/half-cool use of Portuguese, I loved it. It was very different from Ender's Game, but it too received a 5/5.
In completely unrelated news: NaNoWriMo, bring it on. There are only 28 hours until "go time".
Loved Ender's Game. I found the climax most cleverly done. OSC is a fine writer. I had the privilege of attending one of his workshops earlier this year.
ReplyDeleteI almost felt dumb when I didn't see the climax coming. So, yes, very cleverly done. I've only read two of his books, but Card is definitely impressionable to me. It must have been a great experience to go to one of his workshops.
DeleteThanks for reading!
