I SERIOUSLY DON'T THINK I NEED TO SAY MORE THAT WHAT THE SUMMARY ABOVE TELLS. I'm one of those who stumble upon this companion book blindly but have yet to read the original text. I am well aware of Ender's story and the upcoming movie with the star-studded cast is enough to send shivers though me.... of the good kind. As Ms. Card explains, it is Ender's story that makes it work and not the sci-fi, and so it says and clearly too...... damn Ender's World is a great companion to those like me interested in the tale.

As mentioned this is a companion edition to the book and the upcoming movie with Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, Viola Davis, Ben Kingsley, Abigail Breslin and Hailee Steinfield. Some of the greatest writers of the genre have contributed to this book. Some of my favorites include of course the intoduction by the author, How it should have ended, the Q&A session, Rethinking the child hero and so many more...... come on anybody to mentions howitshouldhaveended.com (the website which produces humorous spoof ending.... i follow it) is the best one in my book.... I now know what i need to do - Read the book and eagerly wait for the movie.....
