I just finished it a few weeks ago. OK, I'm a little behind on my reading.

I highly recommend it.

I also found a very short Ender series book and read it last year - it was spectacularly good. Oh - A War Of Gifts.

The guy just knows how to write.

Yeah, I have some videos of that if you want to see. (Or, I dunno, maybe she was using a stage name.

There's a paperback edition floating around that has a preface by Card. I recommend you try to get hold of it if you can--or maybe the preface is posted somewhere separately.

Most of Card's other stuff that I've read I considered boring, creepy, or both.

What books am I ignoring? I'll have to think about. (For me "ignoring" goes beyond "they're lying around and I'm not reading them." It has to be something I'm willfully not reading that I feel I ought to.)
