I've never read any of his books; what he does with his income seriously put me off and there are so many other titles to choose from but I know he's kind of a big deal in his genre. Have you seen the movie? Did it compare well?

Never bothered with the movie, and haven't read any of his more recent stuff. I also haven't paid for any of his stuff in decades.

I think it's worth reading Ender's Game just to be able to identify the impacts it's made on other things. The young man who wrote it hadn't yet decided to spend his money on abhorrent ideology.

Not nearly as good as the book and like the dune stuff, the rest of the story couldn't come fast enough (both span millennia). A good fun romp from memory - I don't remember enders pain and their over-bearing pressure much from the movie, but that was years ago and I've just read it, so...
