It was definitely a fantastic read that I really enjoyed!!



Here is my review: Starters @ The Avid Reader



I have this on my TBR list. I saw an article recently stating that a teacher who read this out loud to his English class was being sued by a parent.

Wow, that's incredible. I wonder what for? It has children who fight, and in one case, accidentally kill each other but nothing as absolutely horrendous as what The Hunger Games is about and that's a huge hit right now.

The article that I read said that a parent had objected to Ender's Game as being "pornographic material." It also went on to state that the teacher was reading information out loud to his class from the internet so maybe the objectionable material was from that source. I work in a middle school library and have a hard time separating middle school appropriate and high school appropriate but I would never have thought that Ender's Game was provocative or any worse than The Hunger Games. We have Breaking Dawn on our shelves even though it describes Bella and Edward's wedding night. But then we also have parents who won't let their middle school children read the Harry Potter series.
this book is totally Awesome u should totally definitely buy it!!




The cover looks exactly like Elle Fanning! If ever this gets turned into a movie, Callie should be played by her.
