Ender's Game

I'm certainly not the first one to this party.  I remember one of my childhood friends being very excited by this book long ago.  I was skeptical at the time, as I am always skeptical about basically everything.

When the movie was announced, I resolved to read the book before I watched it.  Now, I'm reticent to watch the movie.  Unlike the case of The Great Gatsby, it's not because I was bored by the book.  Quite the contrary, I thought the book was so good that I cannot imagine the movie living up to it.

The Great Gatsby

Before I watched the movie, The Great Gatsby, I wanted to read the book.  I'm glad I did because now I know I don't need to watch the movie.  The book was boring, slow, and pointless.  I highly recommend doing something else with your time.
