Book Reviews of A War of Gifts: An Ender Story (Ender Wiggin Saga)
Book Review: "Children have no religion." Card's expose of religious indoctrination?
Summary: 3 Stars
A War of Gifts: An Ender Story, by Orson Scott Card is a snippet from Ender's Game. It involves two kids from Battle School: Zeck the religious zealot, and Dutch-loving Dink.
Here's what we know:
1. This book will make little sense without having read Ender's Game.
2. You'll blow through this book and its 126 pages in about an hour or two.
3. Ender Wiggins, as he always does, saves the day.
4. Card really goes into the indoctrination of youth into a religious movement, as well as the hypocrisies, inconsistencies, cherry picking, and logical leaps of faith/fanaticism in many religious doctrines.
5. This book is shelved in "young adult sci-fi" in our local library. Whether YA or A, you still have to have read Ender's Game.
While not of Ender's Game quality, it still was interesting. Zeck was too much of a pest, however, and the students in Battle School would not have put up with his shenanigans.
