Ender's End

by BlackBear Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 05 '08
Pros: Ties up almost all of the loose ends of the series
Cons: Leaves you wanting more
The Ender Saga is perhaps the most famous and well known of all of Orson Scott Card's works and consists of two separate series of four massive novels each. Children of the Mind is the last volume of the first series and focuses mostly on ...

Card Falls Short at the End

by brownb-dan , Mar 26 '01
Pros: Finishes up one of the most captivating series I have ever read.
Cons: Ender is not the focus and the science is even harder then before.
Orson Scott Card has made a name for himself in his books that paint fantastic worlds with plots that question and ponder over our human ethics. His most famous series is a science fiction saga about a young boy named Ender. Through the series we...

Let's make quantum physics and space travel boring!

by SpookyMonkey , Mar 10 '08
Pros: Too long. Way too long. Ugh.
Cons: Scares dogs. Tastes better than asphalt.
Hey monkey, I thought you'd quit. Not me, I'm like hemorrhoids - you think I'm gone and then bam! I'm all over your butt again like what? You've clearly learned little in your absence. Homey don't need no education. See that degree on ...

Ender's all Grown Up

by moonsong , Feb 02 '00
Pros: Wonderfully written, powerful story, intriguing plot
Cons: Don't expect Ender's Game or Ender's Shadow, its a whole new ballpark
One of the first things people say when they read Children of the Mind, is what happened to the Ender we all know and loved from Ender's Game. This is not a novel for the young at heart who seek adventure and battles, for Ender has grown past his...

The circle is broken

by doakley64 , Sep 08 '00
Pros: I can't think of much
Cons: very dry, far too much introspection
Years ago, I discovered Orson Scott Card through the twin bookends of "Ender's Game" and "Speaker for the Dead." Both of these books thoroughly enthralled me, and to this day, I can re-read either one of them without a hint of...

The End of Ender?

by rundle , Nov 29 '99
Pros: Finishes the story
Cons: not very interesting or satisfying
Please note, this is in the wrong category. This is NOT a mystery novel, it is Science Fiction!

Children of the Mind is the fourth in the Ender Quartet, which started with Ender's Game, continued with Speaker for the Dead, and Xenocide....

Let it go already!

by Fehyd , Jan 28 '00
Pros: ....no typos?
Cons: Ender is now BORING!!
Is it over yet? After reading this book, I was terribly disapointed. The Ender that we all fell in love with dissapeared in book 2. I relate it to Star Wars in a way.. In Star Wars and Empire Strikes back, Luke was mostly a farmboy and an oaf, but...

The last of the Ender series
by cokochan ,Oct 11 '03
Pros: Great end to Ender's story, keeps you hooked.
Cons: Complicate storyline as expected, read other books first.
The last book in the Ender quartet, Children of the Mind tells a completely different story than where we started with Ender's Game. Card's writing style changes dramatically and the story is much more philosophical. However, for faithful readers of Card's series it is a fitting end for the story of Ender Wiggin.
