Ender's game was silly. 8 year old kids recruited to command the military because the adults can't think creatively enough to beat the aliens. Give me a break! I hardly ever read sci-fi, but this one was highly recommended.

I've read Card's political commentary, however, and he usually has some good points. But I give him credibility for the soundness of his arguments, not because he wrote those books.

I'm a big Sci-Fi geek and I'm with you....I hated Enders Game.

I wish to hell people would give up on the "Hyper-Intelligent and Mature" child theme in movies or books.  It's stupid.  It's always been stupid.  It always will be stupid.

Um, incase you failed to grasp the concept, it's called Science FICTION for a reason.

Jeeze...
