Ender's Shadow (Abridged) Audiobook

" Basically interchangable with Ender's Game however the story (with different background story) is told through a different person's perspective. "

" I really liked this book, though perhaps not as much as Ender's Game, though to be honest, I read Ender's Game quite a long time ago. "

" I really enjoyed Ender's Shadow -- really cool reading the parallel to Ender's Game!! "

" Great recapturing of the story from a different character's perspective! By no means does this book feel like you're reading the same story; you're not. I do recommend reading Ender's Game first, though. "

" We learned about Bean briefly in Ender's Game but never knew what more there was to this boy. In Ender's Shadow we learn the true story of where Bean came from and what makes him tick. Card worked his magic to make this formerly flat character come to life and show us who he really is. "

" Love Bean "

" Read Ender's Game first! I enjoyed Shadow a little more, but only in conjunction with Ender's Game. While Game can stand on it's own, Shadow's excellency derives from Games set-up. "

" Adequate Endersploitation "

" I think Enders shadow is a great book that explains how Bean was seeing things through his own eyes. It shows another characters life and view of life at earth and life at battle school. "

" probably the best of the sequels "

" Follows the same story sequence as Ender's Game only from Bean's point of view. Adds a lot of insight into the original book. "

" goddamn amazing... just as rad as Ender's Game. "

" This is a significantly better story than Ender's Game. Card's writing is much more mature in this retelling of Ender's Game through a very different but equally gifted viewpoint character. "

" One of my favorites! But you have to read Ender's game first :) "

" I interrupted the flow of the Ender Saga with this book from the Shadow saga - it was almost as much a page turner as Ender's Game and I am excited to see how the rest of the Shadow series unfolds. "

" now this is psychological warfare. "

" Incredibly good book. If you enjoyed Ender's Game, you will enjoy this as well. Fairly different style to it as well, which really adds to the protagonist's personality. "

" I want to see an Enders movie. "

" Good, but doesn't live up to the original. "

" enjoyed it as much as enders game. looking fwd to reading the shadow series as a result. I can not say the same about speaker for the dead and the ender series. "

" I actually love this more than Ender's Game "

" really nice novel from the view point of bean, with the timeline going over the same period as ender's game. highly suggest if you read one, you must read the other. "

" I loved this book so much. I loved the analyzing that Bean does. What a fabulous book! "

" I loved Ender's Game and I liked this one a bit less, but it was still exciting and interesting. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the Shadow series. "

" Loved this book. It was so interesting to be in the mind of a genius. A 5-6 year old one at that. "

" I really like this book. The development of the characters and the political intrigue was exciting. Out of the series this was a very enjoyable read. "

" Ender's Game is a better book but the Bean saga is a much better series. Ender's Shadow is basically Ender's Game from Bean's point-of-view. "

" An engrossing read, though a bit long in the introduction, it's worth it for a more inside look to Bean's thought processes and what-have-you. A must read for anyone who enjoyed Ender's Game, especially if they didn't care as much for Children of the Mind, Xenocide, etc. "

" This is a parallel novel to Ender's Game, in which the author tells the same story as Ender's Game, but from the perspective of another character. Excellent books/series. I will be reading more. "

" This is the fourth book in the Ender's Game series that I've read, and though I liked it, it will be my last. Out of all the Ender's Game books, I think I only really actually enjoyed reading this one. "

" Though I am reading them "out of order" I loved this. I thought it was nice to read right after reading Ender's Game because they are about the same time period but this is through the perspective of Bean who is very interesting and gives a new spin on what Ender went through. "

" Enjoyed Ender's Shadow far more than Ender's Game. I understood the characters more and the plot better. "

" Read my review of Ender's Game. Really, I think I love Bean more than I love Ender. I love characters and stories that are driven by characters and human experience. Bean's story is marvelous and tragic, but lovely all the same. Read this book. But read Ender's Game first. Please. Go. Do it now. "

" It was so fun to read about battle school during Ender's time but from a different perspective. Bean's life was a little unbelievable and disturbing but interesting. It was good to see him develop as a person physically, emotionally and morally. "
