Ender's shadow is an Locus award winning book from the award winning author Orson Scott Card, shows a different point of view from the best selling Ender's game Movie and book.
This book is classified as science-fiction and it holds true to it word without being one of those generic sci-fi books. The story takes place mostly in space on board a space station, and the problem and enemy are aliens from another planet. This may sound like sci-fi book but believe the book is not about the war it is about the story and the passion that it took to stand a chance in it as you see through the eyes of bean, a small boy with a big secret and get to know the other interesting, and complex children at the Space station. This book belongs to a series and believe me once you finish this book you will run to get the others. This book is another point of view and ideas then Ender's Shadow so I would suggest you read that book to get the full comparisons of these two very important and complicated characters.The book is not very easy to read but instead very enjoyable, the concepts and thoughts in this book are beyond most people's mind and figuring the problems and solutions bean faces is the most interesting and truly amazing things I find doing when reading these books. The solution the characters come up with are so brilliant that they inspire me to think they way these characters do. If you have read any of Orson Scott Card book you will not be disappointed with this one, it meets his high standards and beyond.
The very well known Ender's game book is very different compare to this one even though the characters are facing the same main problem which is why it is so amazing. While reading Ender's game I felt all of his problems and the weight placed on him and I felt many of his many emotions, but while reading Ender's Shadow I was able to see beans brilliant brain and just how smart he is while facing many problems alongside with the war like surviving in the first place. The plots of the characters are so different you would not even know that these characters are fighting against the same problem in the same place.
The plot of this story is what really touched me, because I could see it happening in front of my eyes with all of the detailed characteristics. The most important part of the plot is the beginning of the book, the story of bean and how he grew up in almost unlivable situations and survived and not only survived but thrived, this is a story of true passion and of true grit. The end of the book showed that same grit and passion, as bean goes against the aliens also known as buggers. As interesting as the plot of the book what the book is really about is very important. This book showed me that you should never give up even if it looks like you have no chance, you should never take what people think you are to heart because only you know what you are. This book also shows that success can only be achieved with grit, perseverance and determination. This message was seen throughout the book it it is truly inspiring. This is one of the greatest books I have ever read because it was so engaging and inspirational, I wanted to think like bean and be clever, smart, and never give up no matter what. After reading this book I looked at the world and at problems with a different lens, and this book has gave me or enhanced many amazing and successful traits. My brain was always thinking when I was reading this book and that lead for me reading for hours non-stop because of all the suspense and different ideas and ways. This book began with some sad scenes with glimmers of hope and that hope turned out to be one of the most amazing endings. The author is very gifted , he thinks so differently than other people that is amazing and out of this world, his thoughts and opinions alone sold me on this book. I recommend this book to everyone who thinks that they can't do anything or they are not successful, because this book is so inspiring that I think everyone has to read it and give it a try no matter the age. This book is amazing I encourage you to read it and its series, give it a try what's the worst that can happen, you read an amazing book that's the worst that can happen.
