This makes "star wars" look like a child's game, funnily enough that is exactly what "ender's game" is, a clever book for children and grown-ups alike which I clearly remember for its "in your face" reality and desperation.

Orson Scott Card is one of the very best storytellers around and I wish him all the luck on his forthcoming (we hope) "Ender's Game" film (should be an above average sci-fi flick, Card himself is the scriptwriter but he's revised the script way too many times for my liking.)

If you liked Ender's Game you HAVE TO read its sequel "A speaker for the Dead" which is much better and quite simply a marvellous book.

Forget Star Wars, Ender and his contemporaries will show you the way.

Non-sense ends here..
