Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, 324 pages.

The book that was once considered a classic, now often reviled because of its author's views on homosexuality and gay marriage. I had read the book years ago, and then watched the recent movie version on dvd. The movie was okay, and watching in it the story (book version) of Ender Wiggin came back to me. The movie, it turns out, was rather faithful to that book. Ender is younger in the book than he is portrayed in the movie, and the violence between the children is a bit more brutal, but other than that this tale of young children training in battle schools to help humanity defeat the alien horde is about the same in both versions. It's a good book, and should appeal to kids who don't feel they fit in, but given what I've read about the author, it wasn't good enough to make me want to read more in this series.

The audiobook is read by Stefan Rudnicki and Harlan Ellison.
