I absolutely loved it

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2013)

I love sci-fi, but somehow I never read the the book itself. So I saw movie first - and I cannot express how much I loved it. I love a stories about solo hero - and not to mention visual effects - they are epic. Next day I bought a book and read the whole story - to understand what I was missing from the movie - first time ever I read book after watching movie.
Compared to book - movie misses a lot of Ender's development. Why he was "shaped" to become who he become. Reading the book was really enjoyable especially that book doesn't have "any visuals" so some scenes were coming in my mind from movie while I was reading. Those were great addition to the book. So to sum up - movie and book gave me a gift of one or two really enjoyable days. IF you liked MOVIE - get a book, you will love it even more.
