Yeah ^_~ I thought of that. I mean viruses don't have aposable thumbs anyway. I figure that the decoladoras are the virus but the main stem of the virus is controlling another species, like a parasite.

Hmm....that's a possibility. A symbiosis of a sort.

I just ordered Sarah: Women of Genesis from paperbackswap.com yesterday because it never does seem to be at any library I go to so I'm excited for that one. I liked Rebekah.

The name in the title, is the name of the best author ever!!!!!!!!!
The "Enders Game" Series was the best piece of science fiction ever!!!!!!
And then they followed it up with "Ender in Exile" As a sequel to Enders game and a prequel to speaker for the dead.

The weird thing about Ender in Exile is that it has a lot of time jumps when its supposed to be the prequel to Speaker for the dead and the sequel to Ender's Game so It doesn't need too much time jumps. It kind of make me mad when Dorabella was so nice at first then she just beat up her own daughter..
And Allesandra loved Ender but then a time jump happened and all of a sudden, she loves Po. I prefer Ender's game better than Ender in Exile because its not the same characteristics of the characters and the new characters made it all lovey dovey.
I haven't finished Ender in Exile yet though, so...... Lets see what happens >:D

Please don't double-post Chocobo. :)

Ender in Exile has to cover for a lot of time is the thing. And it was never planned, so there had to be some fudging of the timeline for it to work.

Okay, I just finished "Ender in Exile" and the ending makes me so mad!! Ender was so stupid! Why didn't he just push Randall back a little!? Ender just let Randall destroy on the inside and outside!!! Plus, Valentine was so mean there!!!!! I mean not as mean when her younger version beat up... Omg! What was that other computer thing that took young Valentines body so she could save the world? JANE! Yeah that was it. Well she beat up Jane, I mean like fight Jane and got so mad at her. But when Ender was dying, Valentine said "He deserves whatever happens to him, he's Ender the Xenocide", that was mean. And they skipped the whole part when Ender went to go to get the Hive Queen larvae, but I guess that part was wrote well enough in "Ender's Game"..... Arkanian Delphiki...... I can't believe it..

Orson Scott Card is my favorite Science Fiction novelist. My favorite series by him is the Shadow series. It was nice to see him do a spin-off of an equally amazing little clone-boy that does show up in the Ender series.

Yeah so I have finished "Ender in Exile" and so I read xenocide once more (mainly because I skipped a lot of pages) But what bugs me is that Card has been making Ender so stupid as the books go on. Ender has been the funnest little boy when he was six and the books were really well written but now Ender is such noob... And also, Valentine was so nice back then but now she's the meanest piece of poop ever! If Card makes a new novel on the Ender series, I will read it, but I pray that he won't make Ender do something dumb again like let arkanian delphiki beat him up.. They can't make a sequel on Children of the mind because then who would be the main character? So I'm hoping for a prequel to Speaker for the dead again but after Ender in Exile of course

I'm curious why you think Ender has gotten stupider as the series goes on, because I'm not really seeing it myself.

Well as the addition of ender in exile came, it was disappointing to see ender choosing the choice of letting Arkanian punch him to death.
I realize he didn't want to kill Arkanian letting the whole world see but it natural to defend yourself. Like all the police force says, violence is never the answer, protecting is though.

I read and really liked Ender's game, Ender's Shadow, and Speaker for the Dead. I'm seriously behind my Orson Scott Card reading though. I think I read another one of his called Memories of Earth. I liked that one, but I not as much as Ender's Game.

I've only read the Ender Game's series and I like it. It's really good.

I just finished reading Enchantment. It was difficult for me to get into it at first and still I had mixed feelings through till the end, but having finished it I am looking back on my time with the book and miss it. It was an amazing book with a great story line.

The Ender series is how I first heard of him. I am in love with those books. There is so much to be learned from those books. It is amazing writing!!!

Since Enders game was the first book I read, I think that is why it was so hard for me to really grasp Enchantment. I was just stuck on the Ender series I couldn't bring myself to except the other book at first. But in the end I love him as an author and will continue to read all his books with a more open mind.
