Picked up the paperback a couple years ago. Great book, I couldn't put it down.

"You people" refer to those who care more about checking boxes of "representation" than just having a decent piece of entertainment. The fact that you say you "prefer" straight characters...

Unless you can get it for free, get these from the library. I love the Ender series but OSC shouldn't get a dime.
Post #138202364 added 06-22-2020 2:17 PM by slippytoad in Deal Talk
This book is even better than Ender's Game! OSC isn't woke, but he is a great author.
Post #138203924 added 06-22-2020 3:17 PM by LinkinGreen in Deal Talk
What did OSC say that was bad? (I'm not up on it...)
Post #138207890 added 06-22-2020 6:14 PM by harvester45 in Deal Talk
Exactly! Freedom of thought is great, until it comes to ideas and thoughts that were mainstream less than 25 years ago. Having an opinion on a lifestyle or sexual preference does not make someone a...

Amazon, Google Play, B&N Nook, Apple Books and Kobo have the eBook edition of Ender's Shadow (The Shadow Saga Book 1) by Orson Scott Card for $2.99 ...

I've heard OSC's statements, though I obviously don't agree with them, as long as he doesnt try to push his ideals in his writing, I don't care too much. He's written some great books ( though the...

Why does it always come down to quotas with you people? Who cares how many gay characters he has in his books? They're HIS books. That doesn't make him "more radical" or whatever. If you want more...

What do you mean "you people"? I'm a straight dude and prefer straight characters because it's more relatable to me. I was just trying to illustrate that OSC's homophobic statements and lack of gay...

Everyone is soft post 90s.

Oh great, another hate mob looking to cancel a person because they have a different opinion. Seperate the work from the author people. I like Stephen king books but I probably dont agree with his...

Just because you disagree with someone doesn’t mean you hate the, even if the disagreement is something each person considers an important issue.
Post #138211883 added 06-22-2020 9:09 PM by Shouting in Deal Talk
No, that is not it. I'm a big fan of his work and currently enjoying Xenocide, and capable of separating my enjoyment of and respect for his work from my views about him as a person. But to state...

This guy lives in my town. He also writes for a local right wing conservative "newspaper". He is both homophobic and sexist, masking his views as "traditional" when in fact he would strip people of...
Post #138204158 added 06-22-2020 3:29 PM by mgherter in Deal Talk
He is a Mormon and has traditional views regarding marriage and family.
Post #138204257 added 06-22-2020 3:34 PM by Tad12 in Deal Talk
Such a good book. Even better than Enders series in my opinion.
Post #138211196 added 06-22-2020 8:35 PM by CrimsonShape9663 in Deal Talk
Guys...Card's earlier works are mostly fine including Ender's Game (thanks Op!) But there are works in which his political views bleed through (like Empire) which I'd avoid like the plague. I like...

"He is a southerner and has traditional views on slavery." Separate the work from the artist.
Post #138205388 added 06-22-2020 4:27 PM by CleverGorilla673 in Deal Talk
Do a quick google search and he’s said a number of homophobic things and also said a number of conspiracy theories about Pres Obama
Post #138205481 added 06-22-2020 4:31 PM by ThalaSirenMilk in Deal Talk
Although that's true, the reason why OSC is disliked by many is because of his personal views, which are more radical than his religious views. Though Mormons have traditional family views, they...
Post #138208232 added 06-22-2020 6:29 PM by DragonflyPunch in Deal Talk
Totally agreed. It’s the same reason why I can’t understand people who don’t watch an actor’s movies based on his/her personal life choices. I might draw a line if someone has abused or harassed...

The shadow series, concerns bean, and his story of his origins, how he got to battle school, and in the subsequent books, how he ends up helping enders brother Peter on earth after the events of...

Politics aside, I'll always remember him fondly. I was in band with his daughter and stopped by his house one day after school...couldn't even talk I was so flabbergasted. He grabbed me a copy of...

I think OSC has even criticized Lenin and Foucault.
Post #138202568 added 06-22-2020 2:24 PM by richardactor in Deal Talk
Agreed. Great books written by a bad person.
Post #138206207 added 06-22-2020 5:02 PM by davr in Deal Talk
He is saying while both authors are part of a religion that hates gay people, one of them publicly states his hatred, while the other one put a gay character in his books. Therefore the latter is...

Disagreement isn’t hate. You disagree with Mormons. Does that make you a bigot in regards to LDS? By your standards, it does.
Post #138204470 added 06-22-2020 3:44 PM by Farson in Deal Talk
That’s it? And people consider him a bad person for that. Everyone is so damn thin-skinned anymore. It’s ridiculous.
Post #138207971 added 06-22-2020 6:17 PM by JudeC11 in Deal Talk
Pretty much. I hate what society is turning into where sharing an opinion is essentially shooting someone. It is dangerous and will only lead to the downfall of society.
Post #138209123 added 06-22-2020 7:08 PM by ThalaSirenMilk in Deal Talk
lol appreciate the help, but I don't think it's fair to say mormons hate gay people any more than saying any christian religions hates gays. I threw in Sanderson just as a contrast, but I don't think...

I don't love the Shadow series a whole, but the chapter from Achilles perspective is one of my favorite things I ever read.

I said nothing in judgement of the quality or content of any book. I'm not counting anything. And I don't really care about the why either. I was simply trying to explain the best I could about why...

Y'all need to calm down. You freak out about a guy who thinks differently than you do, yet is in actuality nothing more than a good writer. Y'all are acting like he needs burned at the stake, and...
