Pam Williams I've been reading about this book but my library doesn't have it yet. Has anyone read it? Should I buy it?


Lauren I have read it! Here is my review: http://www.epiloguereview.blogspot.co...

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


H Freeman Yes, it's interesting and inventive. I received an ARC and read it almost in one sitting. It's an quick and easy read.

Pam Williams Thanks Lauren, your review is awesome. A friend just told me that she would loan it to me. I can't wait.


Lauren Awesome!! I hope you enjoy it! :)


Nancy (The Avid Reader) I have read it and loved it. It is different than anything that I have read.

Here is my review: Starters @ The Avid Reader


Nichole It's a good book...but there's a lot of questions that are never answered. I don't think they will be answered either. I think that that Lissa Price didn't think about mentioning them.


Mary I liked it. Kinda different.

Justin Fredette It's okay but there were a lot of holes and areas that I felt like were missed opportunities. I read it for possible feature development though so I was looking at it through a different lens. If you want a truly great young adult sci-fi novel read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

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.


Bianca It was very very good. I cant wait for the second one to come out, you should totaly buy it.


miguel It's a must-read!

Ruby I've read this book and I absolutely loved it! I would recommend it to anyone, can't wait for the sequel: ENDERS<3


Callie I only picked it up because the main character had the same name as me, but now I've read it three times over, and it just keeps getting better! Definitely one of my favorite books!


Kaeri Yes, I loved it. Very fast-paced, Surrogates meets Hunger Games meets Gamer. Creepy, but really enjoyed it. Sad that not many people seem to have read it though.

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


Charley (charley_reads) Quite simply, you most certainly should.


C.penn I'm totally looking forward to the next book.


kevin Yes I loved it. Looking forward to Enders.


Míša* Of course! Totally awesome! I NEED ENDERS!

Rita Kempley I thought it was a good read, but I am an old fart and probably would have enjoyed it more if I weren't planning to rent out a nubile body myself.


Niccol Sutton it was totally an amazing book :)
I WANT ENDERS as well Misa xD
