Read all eight or so books. I've heard he's coming out with a last one. I think it was something about tying off both stoylines.


Anyway, I actually prefer his Homecoming series. I've read it three times, whereas I've only read Ender about twice.

To explain would be to ruin them.

The first one is about a school in space for children who will grow up to fight an alien race called the Buggers.

It sounds stupid as hell, but they are good enough that people have actually taught the books in school/college.

I've read Homcoming 2x and Ender's series once, Homecoming's better.

Children of the Mind is about how Ender created a copy of Peter and Valentine's (when she was younger) bodies, but with Ender's soul in them. They work together to stop the fleet from destroying Lusitania.

I've read them all and I happen to enjoy them. I'd recommend to read though...it sounded stupid at first, but after the first few chapters, I got into them.

I've read the Ender series, and Ender's Shadow, but then I stopped liking Bean, so I never finished...
