I am reading the book Ender's Shadow by Ordson Scott Card. It is a book that basically is Ender's Game but told from the perspective of one of the soldiers in Ender's army, Bean. I think that it is cool to see the story of Ender, started out differently, told from what seemed to be a secondary character. Bean starts his adventures on the streets of Rotterdam and from there, he goes on to the Battle School and finds himself constanly compared to a boy named Ender Wiggin. I liked the text connections to Ender's game. There are instances in which Bean is present at a point that was included in Ender's game and the same text is repeated in the story. And if Bean is not present, then some events or passages or characters are repeated in a different way. I like the flow of the writing and the tone of how Orson Scott Card writes. It makes the book more enjoyable and sets an informal setting except for a few events in which the government is involved, but even then, it isn't a very serious tone. The settting of Battle school kind of reminds me of a highschool environment. With classes and gyms and teachers and a cafeteria. very much of highschool. I have enjoyed the book very much this far and I hope that it gets even better.
