I would first like to say that i am so exited to find these fourms. I am one of the biggest Ender's series fans ever. THis is some of the most brilliant work of any author i have read, and you are the best writer i have ever read.
All though i am still very young and in my youth I can read at a level to comprehend these books. They are some of the best books, and completely change some aspects of my thought process and my outlook on some subjects. Your words have caught my imagination, and i have even told many friends of your books,and loaned my old, raged copy of Ender's Game to many people.
Your thoroughness in not only telling the story of the charectors, but also the situation around them. i recently found your books and barns and nobels maybe a week ago. I found that you had more than just ender's game,and made me re-read Enders game, and also buy all of your ender's series. I have read Enders Game, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, and am now on Shadow of the Giant in 1 week. About to pick up Xeniocide (i massacured that didnt I? dont have book by me and dont remember exactly whats called). Keep up the great work, and i just love how you have the great tempo, and feel to your writing. If i have read any authour that can "dance" with words it is you.
I love how you told the story from Beans point of view, and I have to say so far i like Shadow pupets the most. Bean and Petra you would never think being married, but you brought them together perfectly. Many of your references are great, and some of the things the charectors talk about. I like some of the ideas you present about the middle easter Muslim nations in the Shadow of the Giant which really make sense, and I like.
Keep up the great work, and i know i will have to buy your other books once i finish the Ender series. Can't tell you how you helped me love reading. In the 5th grade i was bellow my reading level at like 3rd grade. I read Enders Game ( don't know how i read it when I was the bad at reading) and now 2 years later I am reading at a college level because of the love you along with Rick SHelly, CLive CLusler, and Robert Lublem have brought me to books. ( is it proper fourm etiquet to mention other authors in these fourms? sorry 1st post, but many to come)
Thank you very much!

Also question: on the cover of SotG there is a picture of Bean, and a woman standing in a starship. WHo is this? Petra didnt come with him, and i got the idea that the kids didnt grow fast, and they wouldnt be that big in this bookw ould they? I am also very sad that he left Petra. I mean like i feel all sad, and reading this whole book to find that they are now seperated, and why Peter? i guess i need a little explination on that one, and what actually Bean is doing with the kids on space.
