Post B #2

Dear Orson Scott Card,

Your novel is extremely good at this point. Your writing is so full of twists and turns that I cannot put it down. The piggies seem to be this terrible race, but I know Ender won't let them be killed as a repeat of the mistake he made three thousand years earlier. I still find it funny how the Starways Council feels threatened by such a small, seemingly harmless and unsophisticated race. Even in another three thousand years, they probably still won't have starflight. The piggies don't seem dumb or anything, they just don't have the means to do it.

Your imagination truely has created a wonderful story. You must have put months of thought into writing this novel because it is so detailed, yet to alien. You have created many aspects of this book from scratch and to do so to such an extent that the book is this amazing requires great talent from yourself. I personally think you deserve a Pulitzer prize or something, because this and Ender's Game are fantastic books that not only allow one to put oneself into a different world, but allow for reflection on human nature and why we do what we do.

I wasn't very old when this book was released, but I doubt that it received much media coverage since it only received science fiction awards. But if it had been publicized better, I should think that it could have easily made the New York Times bestsellers list. Besides, the different species in your novel somewhat relate to different peoples throughout the world. The buggers could be Asia, while the humans are Europe and the piggies are America in 1900. The buggers have been defeated by the humans for some time and the piggies are still an up and coming species. Oh well, maybe not the best comparison, but I'm sure that if I spent ANOTHER hour working on this post, I could find a way in which they relate.
