brilliant boy is pulled out of his school to join the elite.Arriving at

peers. Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military’s next great

epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human
race.

Looking forward to the movie. As I said, I liked the book, but didn't love it.
I might watch this except the author is such a piece of crap that I'd hate for him to make any money off me.
fingers crossed… i am riding the fence. sorry i have been "off-world" the last several weeks…. life is!
It looks great!
I have a friend that named her little boy Ender.
We'll see it, I'm sure. I think all the "controversy" is totally ridiculous.
I'm hoping it's her last one David, because that would be phenomenal.
I hope the movie is more interesting than the book. I mean most of it, he was training. The trailer looked good though when I went to see Gravity last week. Maybe it will be good. Shrug.
He is so far.
I honestly didn't think of it that way. I'll have to ask her.
