Xenocide: Volume Three of the Ender Saga Audiobook

" Ok, I am totally hooked. "

" The Ender Saga gets really far-fetched in the third book. The interplay of characters and ideas is so compelling that I was able to read through some of the more outlandish concepts. I'll take the audacity of Orson Scott Card over a safe predictable narrative tale any day. I'm taking a break now, but will definitely read the 4th book. "

" Just FYI Xenocide is not found in any English Dictionary (I looked at several). Xeno means "outside." I just found it interesting that he created a whole new term and used it as a title. The book was okay. I liked the second book in the series better. There is a lot more Sci-Fi in this one. He takes you down several roads that deal with physics and he lost me a couple of times. The character development is good and he does move the story along. It just seemed more laborious to me. I will continue to read and finish the series. I'm kind of interested in reading some of his other books with "Ender" but I may take a break from him for a while. "

" The book was quite similar to Speaker for the Dead, which was good. My biggest problem with this story is that it seemed way too repetitive. It seemed like a litany of conversations centered on the characters bemoaning about how they need to castigate themselves with tedious rituals for something they thought or said. Either that or Miro complaining about his slow speech. I understand character development but these idiosyncrasies were already developed within the first 5 times they had these interminable thoughts or conversations. Honestly, I think the story could have been 200 pages shorter with the same progression and essential elements. "

" What a deep, moral, ethical mess of a book! It took me forever to read it. I had to go really slowly so I didn't miss anything. But, I enjoyed it and look forward to the ending of the Saga. "

" Ender Wiggins has brought the Hive Queen to the planet Lusitania with the hope that she can live there with humans and the native pequininos. The plaanet is also home of a virus that kills humans it infects. The Startways Congress wants to the planet and everything on it. "

" The third in the series was still reasonably decent. "

" Decent 3rd book of ender's saga but not as good as the previous 2. "

" This was a tough book to get through. Not awful, just not as interesting as the first two. I am starting to loose interest, good thing there is only one more book in the series. "

" A bit boring in the beginning. "

" Loved the first two but couldn't get into this one. It seemed more preachy than the others. I may go back and try again at a later date. "

" This book takes the saga to a new level. Ender is not as impressive as last 2 books but there so many other things that makes Xneocide one of the finest book in Ender's Saga. And yes, Jane is fun. :) "

" Love the creativity. Not quite as good as the first two. But pretty darn good for a trilogy. "

" Loved the entire series--sequels and prequels. "

" This is where the Ender series starts to get weird. I was pretty sold on the central story by this point, but there are definitely some quirky (if not awkward) elements to this installment. "

" Another good follow up to the first 2 "

" This is a horrible book compared to Ender's Game a lot of senseless stuff and too many characters, plus the whole Godspoken thing is ridiculous. I don't know if I can keep going with this series "

" I see this and the next book as a continuation of the previous two, Qing-jao's story is spine-chilling, but somehow this book does not have the impact of the other two. Still an excellent excellent novel. "

" Recently started re-reading the series that I never finished. As a kid I only liked Ender's Game, but I really appreciate the deeper though that was put into the rest of the series. "

" It's as good as Speaker for the Dead for about the first half to three quarters of the book. Then it takes a bizarre turn and totally derails. I have no desire to finish the series after reading this book. "

" This is a great book. Explores issues of ethics and morals that few books even attempt to address. "

" man this book sucked. seriously. i absolutely LOVED ender's game...and i liked speaker for the dead...but this one was an immense disappointment. "

" A little weird...still good, but the series becomes progressively weirder the further you go "

" this one breaks the goofy meter. "

" Well that series certainly took a turn for the worse. At least I don't have to read the remaining 5 books now! "

" Love the series overall; this book tends to drag. "

" Too long. The descolada theme was good and the interaction of the piggies and the hive queen was OK. I didn't like the end and where it was going with the clones of Valentine and Peter. I don't need to read any more of this thread. I'll try the Shadow series with Bean. "

" Fits in well with the series "
