Orson Scott Card is the main writer so it'll hopefully stick to the book

a brief summary is that its about this kid(Ender) in a futuristic society who is ostracized(because he's the Third Child and there are quotas on those) but is selected for special military training called Battleschool and how he is manipulated into defeating these aliens called "buggers"

Ah, sounds like it could make a good movie if the right person does it.

I've read Ender's Shadow and Shadow of the Hegemon. That first one took me 2 days (during the summer) that second one took me about 2 and a half months (for English class). I actually had to read Ender's Game for summer work for 9th grade English compared to the other 2 books it was my favorite (At Risk was ok but like a chick book, and Mythology *dies*).
Anyway I haven't gotten around to reading the other books in the series; I'm not sure if I should b/c my friend told me that they weren't as good as the first b/c they don't really continue from where Ender left off or something...it's more like waaay in the future.
I hate it when they make movies of books and totally screw it up. I like Harry Potter books but the movies stink like crap.

You should, it tuned me into looking at the genre.
But the movie wont be able to to the battle rooms effectivally. So, No way.

I dunno it's still hard to imagine the details of the battle rooms. What I really want to see is the part where:
