You guys are still complaining about the healing factor and everything when they set up a very reasonable out for it, and for the brain cancer. What happens to a normal person who consumes too much alcohol? Liver Cancer. What happens to someone who's brian is distributed throughout his body...

He's writen four books about "great kids" as you put. Out of 25. And by comparing him to Asimov, Herbert, and Heinlein, I'm not saying his writing is on par with those, I'm saying he has writen a similar number of differently themed books/stories as them, unlike the other authors I mentioned...

But its not the same theme. In 1 out of about 25 books, he has a story in which a child born in a test tube, basically a mutant because of some genetic engineering done by his "father" (the scientest who created him, not his genetic father) has to learn to survive against a single, smart kid...

IF I was OSC, I wouldn't waste my time on a site like this when I have my own site, where people hate me a lot less. Now, MWoF, I realise you are mostly joking, so I'm just joking back. But, can we at least get a comment on what I wrote, not just a "Look at me, I can be funny by chaging what...

The kids are a focus of about 5 of his books, with only one or two really focused on the kids. He also has a series focused on an alternate world history in which things like Hexes and spells and such actaully work. Although the main character starts out as a small child, I think he's about 20...

Actaully, as much as I love Star Wars, I'm going to have to disagree. The best Star Wars Movies (Empire and Jedi) weren't writen by Lucas. And in the years between Jedi and Shadow, its obvious he still didn't learn to write good screenplays. His story ideas are awesome, but his screenplay...

Actually, that's still not back on topic.

Actaully, I'm not trying to compare the two. I was asking, do the people who hate this new version of Tony also hate the new version of Star Wars? Maybe the changes aren't on the same scale, but it feels to me that a lot of the reasons (not all, but a lot) listed for why UIM is so bad are...

So, I've been wondering this for the past few days. How many of the people that hate UIM (the mini) so much also hate the re-released Star Wars movies. I'm talking about the ones Lucas put out in the 90's. I'm just wondering because I see the new UIM origin as something similar to what Lucas...

The gay character in the Homecoming series wasn't a bad guy. He did end up having sex with the only unmarried girl, but only because there were like 14 people trying to repopulate the Earth. I agree that his personal opinions show up, but they don't dominate his writing. He doesn't use his...

Maybe I'm just missing it, but the fact that some of the most important characters in the book are women. So, how is that sexest? I mean, Ender would never have gone to the super secret school without Valentine. And Petra was a part of Ender's Jesh(SP?) from the moment she joined his army...

I like this series because I feel like Tony's character needed an update, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 and I think that the Ultimate Universe has provided that. 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 So, that's...

WARNING, IF YOU PLAN ON READING ANY OF THE ENDER'S BOOKS, DO NOT READ THIS POST. Unless of course you don't mind my somewhat subtle description of each book. Ender's Game: Third kid born to a family ends up being a perfect mix of his two older siblings, and is able to save the...

I can't really answer the second quote, because, well, I sorta covered most of your arguments already, and since I like the book, I don't see where you're getting 'hack' from. Maybe someone else that likes the book can handle that. I have to say again that the characterizations aren't that...

Rehashing in that the characters are similar. But not as bad as some people say Millar does. I mean, Tony hasn't been sent into space to save the world from Alien Bugs, or snatched up by the government to be used as the ultimate (no pun intended) weapon in a war to take over the world. He's...
