Is someone really thinking about making “Ender’s Game” into a movie? I picked that one up nearly by accident when it came out, and loved it.
I really enjoyed Enders Game. The main problem I had with it, though, was as soon as he was relocated to the final gaming facility I remember telling my wife, “I’ll bet what he is doing is real and he doesn’t know it.” It just made sense that his handlers would do it that way. As long as he intellectually only thought he was playing a game, all the phylosophical thoughts that could muck up his effectiveness were not relevant until after he did his job.
Finding out I was right was a bit dissapointing.
BTW, one of my favorites is a childrens book: The Giver
