One of the best books ever written. The problem is that you won’t be able to find so many young kids who have the talent to accurately portray all the characters.

That’s why they picked older kids for the roles.

I enjoyed the books. I've listened to the author talk about the main difficulty in bringing the book to the big screen is the producers wanting to have a love interest in the story requiring the characters to be older- which changes the story

Agreed. It’s also on the Marine Corps Commandant’s reading list.

This would have been a perfect vehicle for an anime series.

Ender’s killing of the bully is horrifying, because it’s so cold blooded. Merely a weighing of options, benefits, and outcomes. No thought about the moral implications.

A theme, btw, that runs throughout the entire book.
