Representaion In Favor Of Books Ender's Game, Volume 1: Battle School (Ender's Saga (Graphic Novels))
No bookshelf for graphic novels...should probably start one. I LOVE Ender's Game, even tho it took me years of foot-dragging to finally agree to try it. Ender is such a conflicted little boy -- cold-blooded, soft-hearted, and a genius like none other. Is he 'the one' to save the world? The adults behind the scenes of Battle School are trying to find out. They try by challenging him, attempting to break him, isolating him, making him hated by all the other kids...all to see if he is the one.My heart broke for Ender in the novel, and seeing his face in this graphic novel makes it even harder. The artists do an amazing job of using Ender's body language to express the emotions he will never share with anyone.
They're all here: Bonzo, Peter, Valentine...tormenting, comforting...
The artwork is superb, and expresses the movement of the battles, the futuristic setting of Battle School, and the extreme youth of these soldiers...this is a world that trains babies to save the world...but, is a world that does this worth saving?
I already know three or four boys who need to read this. I'll be interested in their analysis...

A nice rendering of Ender's time just before Battle School and then during part of the engagement. Artwork is crisp and efficiently used. People who have not read the novels may be a bit lost as this doesn't lay down enough backstory but does just fine for those who have read the book. Overall, solid good to very good work.ARTWORK:B to B plus; DIALOGUE/CHARACTERS: B to B plus; STORY/PLOTTING: B; SETTING/TONE: B plus; WHEN READ: early to mid May 2012; OVERALL GRADE: B to B plus.Good Sci-fi story with decent supporting artLoved it, I end up reading Enders game every half a decade or so, this time around decided to give the graphic novel a shot and I was not disappointed. Of course, it is not as deep as the novels but does a fair job and the art although not glorious complements the storytelling with its illustrations. The plot revolves around children being trained to be soldiers and commanders from a young age for a fight against aliens. The story focuses on the
A well written book. Enjoyed reading it.
I think the artwork is amazing, and it stays as close to the novel as it can. There are a few things here and there that I would have done differently, and I am not sure the story would be comprehensible to someone who has not read the novel first, but as a companion to the novel this is top-notch.I've been sharing it in class after we read chapters, and the kids love it :)
A well written book. Enjoyed reading it.
