BOOK OF THE WEEK REVIEW!! (Book 2 of 2)May 1st through May 2nd...A War of Gifts by Orson Scott Card

A War of Gifts: An Ender Story by Orson Scott Card. This was a 126 page short story that is a companion to the Ender's Game (Ender, Book 1) series. This could be inserted easily into the original text and again shows the power that Ender has over people. The story is about a character named Zeck who is yanked up out of life on earth to be a soldier in the Battle School. I don't recall this character ever being brought up in the original Ender's Game. Zeck does not fit in because of his religious views and Ender is inevitable sought out to find what is really Zeck's problem and to make things right at the Battle School once again.

I really enjoyed the book and only wish it had been longer. I give it a 7 out of 10 only because it is a book not many of my fans could just pick up and understand, you would need to read Ender's Game first at the very least...also because I just need more of this story.

Orson Scott Card also has a web page where he has more short stories available as well;  http://www.intergalacticmedicineshow.com/  check it out!!
