And yes, I think these books could be appreciated so much more than the are (which is hard for a lot of people with the content, I understand). <br /><br />I'm so glad that you think about stuff like this realistically for how our world currently is :) <br /><br />And I'm even more glad you aren't hating me for not quite agreeing on everything, lol. I've had a few people be like, "No, the government was 100% wrong to kill the aliens without trying harder."<br /><br />Like they tried pretty hard, I think ;p <br /><br />I'm quite surprised that this post has received more positivism than my in-real-life-words have. But that just makes me happy. Yay for positivism ;D <br /><br />and thank you for commenting!

The movie was good, if not slightly less emotional than the books and just a bit less heavy. <br /><br />First, nice review and it is great to hear your opinion! These books don't get enough credit.<br /><br />I think you are totally right -- the government should have wiped that race out. In reality, aliens aren't good, and should get no mercy. And, sure, war 'shouldn't' exist maybe -- but be honest, folks. It does. It will until Jesus comes back. And war is NEVER fair. In today's world, people disagree about everything. War is just another terrible thing that no one can agree on... but it is still true. And innocents will be lost in war either way -- hey, innocent lives are lost EVERY day, without war!<br /><br />On the note of children's innocence... Do I think a twelve year old should be in a war zone like the books? No. As brilliant as they are. They're still kids, and God tells us to protect the young. Not saying aliens taking over isn't a reason to have brilliant kids help. :P It's the age old 'the heart of the fix might be good, but how that is carried out can be sneaky'... Ya know? (on that note BEAN WAS SUCH A BABY AHH)<br /><br />ANYWAY. In no way am I trying to argue because, yep, the books are realistic in the way everyone can have their own view point. As you say, in the end, our opinions should match with God's Word! We can't conform to anything else. Which helps me when it comes to politics and such.<br /><br />God bless!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636949427910483856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538625224020600073.post-35091965075472581122018-10-13T07:33:48.244-07:002018-10-13T07:33:48.244-07:00His books ARE amazing.

I still plan to listen to those last two, as it seems I'm on an audio book roll for all the Ender books. First I'll finish up the Shadow series though :) Keturah Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041749245034077912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538625224020600073.post-31397947106499528092018-10-13T07:26:22.061-07:002018-10-13T07:26:22.061-07:00Yes, I liked the movie better because of the langu...Yes, I liked the movie better because of the language as well. I know that Orson has received thousands of letters from boys nearly crying because they finally read a book that understood them. So, there's that.<br />I haven't read the Bean books, but I have read some of the sequels. And, wow, just wow, you need to read Speaker for the Dead and Xenocide.leliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322159218521168878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538625224020600073.post-19040319608033548712018-10-12T05:38:31.231-07:002018-10-12T05:38:31.231-07:00Thanks!
