Recommending a book.

I read a lot of books. You’d think choosing just one to recommend would be easy, but no, it’s not. What if the other person doesn’t like it? What if they absolutely hate it? It would be so embarrassing.

But nothing ventured, nothing gained, and I’ve picked a book that I’ve read time and time again, that can be read from young adulthood right through to being a boring grown up, a book that still challenges me and one that I can’t wait for my kids to read. A book that can make me feel excited, as it’s a ripping yarn, and yet at times so sad, as it’s about children who are having to grow up so terribly fast.

I picked Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card to send to Alex from Daddacool. I’m guessing with a new baby in the house he doesn’t get a huge amount of time to read (he certainly hasn’t had time to update his brief bio on his website 😉 ), but I’m hoping he can snatch a few minutes peace and quiet to enjoy it, and let us know what he thinks.

  1. I read this a year or two back, and it was ok, it was a good enough read. But sorry, I couldn’t work out why you thought it was so great 🙂

  2. Not heard of this book but will definitely check it out x

  3. It’s a great book, and it completely baffles the people who read the rest of the series, because they’re a lot more philosophical and have much less action. Cheers Jax 🙂
