| | Orson Scott Card |
 | | Card portrays the evolution of Ender, which is fueled by his seek for atonement, resulting in a wiser, humbler, and more endearing character. | | | The similarities between Christ and Ender show that Card created his character to be a symbol of God. | | | Card's books Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead deal with issues of good and evil, ruthlessness and compassion, the cycle of sin, guilt and redemption, and the damaging effect of lies. |

| | Amazon.com: Ender's Shadow (Ender, Book 5) (Ender's Shadow): Books: Orson Scott Card |
| | Card, in the acknowledgements, voices his wish to have named the book Urchin, only to be trumped by the marketability of the name "Ender". | | | Card's little urchin from Rotterdam stands tall enough on his own and casts a shadow so large that a comparison to his commander is not necessary. | | | Card is an excellent writer, and this book is a great novel. |

| | Salon Books My favorite author, my worst interview |
| | When Card comes on the line from Greensboro, N.C., I immediately tell him how ecstatically I love his work. | | | His teachers have chosen him because he's compassionate enough to love (and hence to understand) his enemies, but ruthless and scared enough to wipe them off the face of the earth. | | | Science-fiction writer Orson Scott Card wrote one of my favorite books of all time. |

| | When Card realized that he had a better idea of how to capture the crux of the story, he realized that he should try writing his own script. | | | Also, the emphasis on moral themes and the struggle to make moral choices amidst chaos, upheaval, and persecution has developed into another strong thread in Card's work -- an emphasis well grounded in the tales of early Mormon pioneers, and thus in his early plays. | | | In fact his impetus to write came while observing another student’s adaptation of a story from the Book of Mormon. |

| | Doug's Library -- Orson Scott Card |
| | This book is divided into a half-novel plus a series of short stories written throughout Card's career about a highly advanced Earth and one of its colonies, populated by telepaths. | | | I would almost recommend reading only the first four books of this series, which make a great self-contained set and leave few plot threads hanging. | | | Another fiction/mystery/ghost story novel along the same lines as Lost Boys. |

| | Card draws the reader into the story, weaving past and present, folk tale and history into a witty and well-paced narrative. | | | Readers with a background in folklore, particularly Russian folklore, will especially enjoy seeing how the folk tales mesh with the narrative. | | | At times, the dialogue becomes a touch too expository, but for the most part, it rings true. |
