The confrontation between Ender and Bonzo is exponentially less filmable the younger the cast is.
I know, I'm just throwing a purist tantrum.
At least Bean is a couple of years younger than most of the other kids. Hopefully he is equally as small. Bean is by far my favorite character in Battle School and I absolutely loved his individual story that was told in sequels. Great read.
Same. I don't know if this is a minority position, but 'Game and 'Shadow are the only two books in the series that I enjoyed. The others are almost completely unreadable for me.
It took me awhile to get used to the time warp on the Ender sequels, but once I did I found those story lines to be interesting and good reads, Ender just wasn't as likeable as Bean was for me and I just don't know why.
I have not yet read Shadows In Flight, which is the latest Bean book. Nor have I read Earth Unaware which is the first of a three-part prequel to Ender's Game about the first Formic war.
