- Latest Review: "The Big Exoneration" by Dennis Sanchez
I have read a lot of old science fiction (mostly Heinlein, Asimov, and Simak), and I seldom like modern SF, so I didn't expect to like Ender's Game; however, I was aware of the tremendous accolades it had received, so I finally got a copy from a library. After the first chapter, I loved it.
Many of the comments in this forum are about a person's right to a "normal" childhood ... but another issue, much more important to me personally, is the right of a child (or an adult) to defend himself. When I was a kid in school, I never got into a fight because I was certain that the punishment I would receive afterward would be much worse than letting bullies push me around once in a while. Boy, did I hate that!! I despised school with a passion, and of course that led to many personal problems. That was a long time ago (the 1960's), but the situation in most "civilized" countries has only gotten worse, and there's no end in sight.

I still haven't watched the movie, but from some of the comments here I guess it's quite good and I hope to soon.
