Ender's Game

My favorite book of all time. The movie trailer came out yesterday, but to be quite honest, it looks awful.

 
I personally didn't like the book at all, but I can understand why people do.

Might see this just to get a few chuckles.
 
I found the book pretty boring. Then again, one of my favorite books, House of the Scorpion, would be considered boring to some.

I found the book fairly enjoyable, if a bit slow at times, but I detested the ending.
 
What I really enjoyed about the book was how it portrayed Ender's fight with the Battle School. I could connect very well with Ender.

Omg, I've read that book! I really liked it!

Anyway, I remember reading a few pages of the book before I got bored. To be fair, I think I was about 12 or so.

Really? Looked pretty good to me.

The only real change to me was that it looked more futuristic than I had imagined. I always pictured Battle School as a lot like a space camp I went to. But that's my own interpretation, so whatever.

Also Harrison Ford as Graff. That's awesome.

I suppose it looks good from a movie critic's perspective, but it just seems to miss what really made the book great for me.
 
The struggle of a little boy in a very competitive environment who is constantly played with and expected to commit xenocide.
