The "Ender's Game" of the World as We Know it

I am about halfway through the book Ender's Game. So far, this book has been intense. There have been conflicting feelings, anger, love, and most of all, what is really going on. It is beginning to have twists that suggest that things aren't as they seem. These these plot twists are interesting, and suggest different things.

Speaking that I am only halfway through the book, I can't tell you how this is all going to come together, but it is becoming interesting already. Ender has been sent to a battle school for geniuses. His brother and sister are also in the plot, but at a different place: Earth.

The book skips details that are not important to the story-line. It does however continually come back to the same thing all of the time. That is the bugger war, and if the war will really happen or not. That is what Ender is training for after all. Hope to post again soon!

Periodic Post of Newness

I've heard good things about this book. Ender's Game hath been on thy list of reading for a while now. (I am in a "Shakespeare" mood today). This book is science fiction, which is one of my favorite genres. Thy hath been waiting to read thou book for a while. It was recommended, and now, I finally have it.
Ender's game is supposed to be about the government training super geniuses so they can fight off and alien race that is trying to exterminate the human race. They call these aliens Buggers. Most of the training takes the form of games. Ender wins all of the games. This essentially makes him a super-genius. He has a brother who wants to kill him because of jealousy. This book I believe will be very interesting. I hope to update soon. ☺☺☺☺☺

Androids with a Side of Aliens

Everyone loves some good Science Fiction, no?
My most recent book, Feedback turned out to be as good as I thought it was going to be. So I am now in the mood to give a report on how it turned out. There were parts that I didn't like as much, as there are in most books, but overall, it was a great read.

Robinson Wells crafted this book in a very unique way that continues his first book, Variant. If you haven't read that one, you can't read this one. The story is full of discovery, and Benson and Becky know exactly where to find things out. The little town that they could see from the third floor windows of the Maxfield Academy. The town is filled with people with implants. What?! For those who want to read these books, I'm trying not t reveal too much information about what is in this town. It would ruin the story otherwise ☺.

There is always a way to escape, no one knows it though. The kids with implants can't leave town, and there is seemingly no way out of it either. So when Becky is kidnapped to go back to the academy, Benson leads a head on assault against it. In other words, he goes back and tries to save her, and then tells the rest of the people at the town to get underground where they can't be tracked.

That is the least of his worries when he gets trapped.

I loved this book, but I am warning you, you have to read it's counterpart for it to all make sense. The story seems to hurtle you through a series of events. It's fast paced and exciting. If you want to know just how exciting I think it is, then you will have to read it yourself.

Periodic Post of Newness/A Series of Several Events

I have recently started the book entitled: Feedback. This book is a sequel to a book called Variant which I have also posted about. I figure: why not combine two posts into one? I am halfway through the book already. Variant left me with a cliffhanger, and I just had to find out. You can read both reviews at these links, but please, read my post first, then try the book for yourself. Feedback Variant .

I had and still have high expectations for this book. Benson Fisher is back in his adventure, and (Spoiler alert: if you don't want to find out the end of Variant, or are reading it now, skip this paragraph) finds out that the androids were conected to humans. How odd. The campfires were actually coming from another compound, parallel to the Maxfield Acadamy. The story continues nicely until he finds out even more about the acadamy, and how it works. People from book one are reintroduced as human, and Becky, Benson's girlfriend is kidnapped by the acadamy to get a dreaded implant... scary music plays in background. What will happen next? I'll have to tell you later cause I'm not finished.

Feedback, being a sequel to another book, has to follow a logical series of events that happens after the events in Varient. Each and every new event has a new twist on the original plot. However, the main theme is still to escape Maxfield into the real world. They seem to be testing new, super-human androids, that can still interact in the real world. But only teenagers. Why teenagers? I guess I'll have to just keep reading. To all of my fellow readers out there: Keep reading, and see what happens.
