Finished Ender's Shadow and I have started reading Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. 11. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
12. Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card I'm Reading Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card.
I read Ender's Game a few months ago and really enjoyed it so I decided to read about Bean's story, which so far has been more interesting to me than Ender's. ... of reference. I wouldn't generally type, "My favorite character from the series is a tough call, but Bean (Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, etc.) is definitely in the running, with 'Old Valentine' (Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind) a potential ... #144 and 145 - I love Ender's Game; I've read it several times. Ender's Shadow was very good, too. I don't care very much for the other books in the series.
In anticipation of Brandon Sanderson writing the final installment for Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, I've just ... ... / Jennifer Cole
2. Speaker for the dead / Orson Scott Card
3. Song of the Magdalene / Donna Jo Napoli
4. Ender's Shadow / Orson Scott Card
5. Lost Highway / Richard Currey
6. Clubbing / Andi Watson and Josh Howard
7. Celebrating the Crone: rituals and ... Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is on my constant reread list for non-fantasy... I'll throw Ender's Shadow as well. Most of the rest of the series don't hold up as well as these two. So far this year:
Ender's Shadow
Shadow of the Hegemon
The Crying of Lot 49
Wicked
The Limits of International Law
Sovereignty: Organized Hypocrisy
The Book Thief
The Children of Men
Enchiridion
The Grand Inquisitor
A Letter Concerning Toleration
Plato: Apology
... Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow tell the same story from different points of view. Though that's two books and probably older than you're looking for. 4. Ender's Shadow
Finally, another book to add! I've been reading several books simultaneously, though. If you were a fan of Ender's Game, this is a great companion novel, or it can stand on its own. ... it would definitely be Alanna or maybe the Woman who rides like a Man.
No, wait, it would be Ender's Game. And Ender's shadow is quite good, too.
No, um, the Lion, the witch and the wardrobe. But I also love Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
No, no, I know: the hero and the ... >6
I love Ender's Game and the rest of the Ender and the Shadow series, but I always warn people that Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow are very different books from the series that follow them. EG and its parallel telling in ES are Kids in Space with some thought-provoking stuff going on. Spe ... Allama-it's not just getting hooked on the 4 you have to worry about...then there's Shadow of the Giant, Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, and the one that just came out (my husband's reading it so I haven't so much as gotten to look at the cover). I hate Sci-fi, so when I read Ender, I ... I reread Ender's Game a few weeks ago (I've read it several times). I also enjoyed Ender's Shadow, but I didn't care much for the other books in the series. Each time I read it, I discover something new! It's definately one of my favorite books. ... the series.
I just got A War of Gifts: An Ender Story for Christmas, so I might go back and re-read Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow before reading that one....Don't know yet. Anyone read A War of Gifts: An Ender Story yet??? I loved Ender's Game! It's one of my all time favorite books. If you liked it you should definitely read Ender's Shadow, which happens at the same time as Ender's Game, but from someone else's perspective.
After that the books split off into two complete trilogies. One follows Ender and Valent ... Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card. I don't know why. 70. Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card, 380 pages ... pages)

... >119: reptiliancandy
You weren't asking me, but I'm going to jump in anyway. I loved Ender's Game too and have also read Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets and Shadow of the Giant and Speaker for the Dead. I loved them all, but especially the Shadow books. After Ende ... ... through the adventure.
Ender's Game, on the other hand, I really related to the characters in the book (and more so in Ender's Shadow).
The Discworld series are different again - they are humourous, yes, but, especially in the later books in the series, they highlight social issues in ... Finished Ender's Shadow yesterday and moved on to Speaker for the Dead. 31. Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card
Finished Ender's Game and friend told me to read Ender's Shadow next, even though it's technically the fifth in the series. I am glad I took his advise, but I am getting anxious to get back to the next Ender book. He likes Bean the most, I still ... ... of government and economics; and we are going to have to shed blood, sweat and tears to get there...
Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card - there is something about these books that reaches into the very heart of me, and I am, in some ways more than others, Bean (bet you ... ... Game! I've read it a couple of times. The sequel is good, but they go downhill after the first two books in the series. Ender's Shadow is also very good. ... with my English 10 Essentials class. This is a good novel but doesn't lend itself to multiple re-readings well.
18. Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card * 5/5
After reading Ender's game as a novel study I read this one aloud for a few minutes each day to my English 9 Essentials ... Haven't read anything past Ender's Shadow. I really liked those two books, and while I enjoyed the first Alvin Maker book, the priest started to piss me off near the end. Honestly, I don't plan on reading anything more than these. While the author's views do come out in their writing, novels aren' ... ... for most of my books. I just finished the Ender part of the Ender's Game series. I had read the first book and then the Ender's Shadow part of the series about four years ago. I'm a big fan of Orson Scott Card.
Right now, I've got Snow waiting for me, but I'm considering The Wheel ... I loved Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead. Ender's Shadow was okay, but I did not like the rest of the series. I read the books thinking that they might get better. No such luck. ... although it followed the plot of the graphic novel, it was different enough to make it a different work.
I'd liken it to Ender's Shadow tracking a portion of Ender's Game. ... by Jerry Spinelli. It was very good. It was a little different than I expected--I found it oddly similar to how Ender's Shadow starts out--but by the end I was hooked. So that one is definitely going on my list of books to recommend. I also just finished (hours ago) In My Father's Ho ... ... ies".
Ender's Game
Speaker for the Dead
Xenocide
Children of the Mind
Then you have the "Shadow Series".
Ender's Shadow - parallel novel to Ender's Game
Shadow of the Hegemon
Shadow Puppets
Shadow of the Giant
There are a couple more books planned from what I ... I loved Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. I've read it three times. Ender's Shadow was good. Even Speaker for the Dead was good. I was very disappointed in the rest of the series. I read them because I had to finish the series. I thought if I kept reading that the books would get ... ... other novels, probably six or seven times, but I enjoy the sequels as well. They're just different from Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow. ...
Hungry Planet by Faith D'Aluisio and Peter Menzel
Urban Shaman by C.E. Murphy
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card

Ender's shadow by Orson Scott Card
UnSuggester says...
#16 The poor mouth (An béal bocht); a bad story about the hard life. Edited by Myles na Gopaleen (Flann by Flann ... ... read much of his yet, but as far as the Ender's Game saga goes, I really only liked EG. On the other hand I quite enjoyed Ender's Shadow, although I haven't read the rest of the Shadow books yet. I've also got the first book in Alvin Maker series, but I haven't read it yet, but it looks like ... ... habit of starting in the second book of series--I did it for The Crown of Stars and for The Animorphs and I even read Ender's Shadow before I read Ender's Game. So now I know who was killed off in the first book and some of what else happened, but nothing else. Like more about how it ... Shadow of the Giant, I thought that Bean's actions in the end were completely immoral and inexcusable. I loved Ender's Shadow but Shadow of the Giant ruined it for me.
