For those people who have read any of Enders Game books (Enders Game, Shadow for the Giant, Xenocide, Children of the Mind, Enders Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, and Shadow of the Giant) what did you think of them?
They are personally my favourite books in the world. Your opinions?

I've only read Ender's Game.
It was alright. Not one of my favourites. I had to read it for school. Normally I despise books we have to read for school, but this one I could deal with. I don't like it enough to continue on with the series, tho.

I love it.
I've read most of th' series. I don't know exactly how many, because I've read a number of them out of order. ^^" Library is not always reliable.
I own a number of them now, too. Thrift stores are great. ^^
My favorite is probably still th' first one, followed shortly by Ender's Shadow. I like those two best. ^^

Yeah...*disappears now...* ^^"

I've only read the first one, and I plan to get the rest of the series(eventually). Good read.

I loved Ender's Game! My school's really funny, because it's the type of place where everyone's read Ender's Game and has seen Lord of the Rings and Star Wars and Monty Python... Yeah, we're nerds. ^_^

I've heard that the sequels weren't as good as the original, so I haven't read any more books in the series.

Just like my school. Plus nearly all the other schools in this city. Oh and probably tons of other schools, too. Must be very uncommon.

....

But yeah. Anyway. Aren't they like... making a movie for Ender's Game?

The Ender's Game series are pretty good, I like to pick it up in my school library and read it some times.

Children of the mind sucked. xenocide is perhaps my favorite of the ender series because of the world of the path. the godspoken is just really interesting. i once just read all the chapters about the path. On the bean side i like shadow of the giant because we never really find out what happens to julian delphiki. even though children of the mind killed off ender.

i just started ender's game a few days ago but i'm only halfway through. i like it a lot but i feel like it's a little slow-moving. my best friend is obsessed with them so he's lending me all the books. does it start moving faster?

I loved Ender's Game so much...It's probably my favorite book.
Speaker for the Dead was pretty good.
Xenocide was just awesome, except for the ending.
I didn't particularly care for Childeren of the Mind.

Ender's Shadow close to ruined EG for me, so I read no more of Bean's storyline.
