A War of Gifts: An Ender Story Audiobook

" More on the short story side of things. But all the little stories came together as one. The message hit close to home. "

" Anything about Ender is dynamite in my book, and this tiny little book is sweet and touching, filled with arrogant genius children, silly poems, and it's about Christmas. Which makes for a pretty enjoyable read, in my opinion. "

" This book should never have been made. It is the worst propagandist piece of ----- I have ever read. Card should be ashamed. He greatly ruined the Ender universe with this book. ALL ENDER AND CARD FANS STAY AWAY!!! Card uses this book to spout his religion.... his writing style here is unrecognizable and the storyline is freaking pathetic. "

" Before reading the next installment of the Ender series, I wanted to read Book 5, which is a novella. Frankly, it seemed like a few missing chapters (i.e., after thought) from Ender's Game. "

" I love the Ender series, but this one just doesn't work. "

" I enjoyed this quick romp back into Ender's world and look forward to reading more of Ender's story at intergalacticmedicingshow.com "

" A different sort of Christmas story. Worth borrowing, but not buying, due to length. Really a novella, set in the Ender Wiggin universe. "

" Author raised some interesting points about religion and culture without coming across too preachy. "

" I loved Ender's Game and consequently loved to return to Ender's world for a holiday tale. I loked how this book didn't focus so much on the training at battle school, but the relationships and beliefs of those that were there. "

" This one is a quite single sitting book in the Ender universe. "

" Zech is a pacifist, like his powerful preacher father, but he has been recruited to Battle School, where no religious observances are permitted. He passively resists until he sees two students exchange a Sinterklaus Day gift. Now he's ratted them out, and only Ender can find a route to peace. "

" This was an interesting "added chapter" to Ender's Game. I am a sucker for all things Ender, primarily because they pay off. Reading OSC is like going home, his style is always very human with thought and conversation. "

" This is a new story about Ender when he was still a kid at battle school. It's really just catnip for those of us who got addicted to that world and don't want to leave. A very quick read, but an absorbing one. "

" A cute Ender story set during Battle school. "

" This story revolves around the desire to be able to celebrate holidays at battle school. This was way under par in comparison to Ender's Game. The characters had no depth. "

" An interesting confusion between intellectual brilliance and maturity, but a fine subversive story all the same. Dink Meeker is one of my favorite minor characters; I was glad to see him in action here. "

" A story of warmth in an unexpected setting. Will make you think twice about the kinds of gifts you give and why you give them. "

" Not much to say. This seems like a throw-away story that was kept as and used as a Christmas story. "

" Not a bad story and you should read if you are a fan of Ender. Just not worth the hardcover. "

" Quick read, not too much science fiction. I liked the story, but isn't the author LDS? It always disturbs me to read swear words, etc written by an LDS author--more so than from another author. Does that bother anyone else? "

" So short I almost missed the point. "

" As always a great one form the Ender series. "

" The juxtaposition of religion and secularism with the understanding that both are important and that it all boils down to relationships and forgiveness. I love it. "

" A nice short story set at Battle School during Ender's time. "

" I love the Ender series, but this one just doesn't work. "

" amazing<br/>and a defiantly read more than twice "

" always love OSC's portrayal of wunderkids. just chanced on this one and then had to read the whole thing in one sitting. seems as he gets older, the fundamentalist LDS reveals... "

" A cute Ender story set during Battle school. "

" This was an unexpectedly sweet addition to the Ender series. This story really focuses on the other children and how they dealt with their homesickness. Very quick read, too. "

" tiny novella backstory on Zeck, some Ender and Dink "

" Liked it quite a bit as a side Ender story. Sure it was preachy, but at it's short length, it worked just fine. I overall enjoyed it a fair bit more than Ender's Shadow. "

" Rather flimsy for an Ender book. But it was nice to return to Battle School, however briefly. "

" a quick read, but still loved it. Cant wait to open the next one in the series. "

" The juxtaposition of religion and secularism with the understanding that both are important and that it all boils down to relationships and forgiveness. I love it. "

" A good look into what else was going on. "

" This story actually takes place while Ender is at the Battle School. There is just something about the Ender series that really gets me involved. This story is short and interestingly current... "

" This is really more of a short story than a novel, but it's still fun. How can anyone not love Ender and appreciate his amazing ability to read people and situations and turn them around so that things all work out? It's always brilliant! "
