Why I'm not going to see Ender's Game

I'm not going to see Ender's Game because I read Speaker for the DeadReading that, I realized Orson Scott Card isn't actually a very good author and I was pretty turned off from everything associated with him. This happened in about 1988, so his later political lunacy has nothing to do with it

For my part, I suspect that Ender's Game was spoiled by the fact that I read it when I was an adult who was pretty much happy with his life. Perhaps if I had read it at a time when I desperately hoped that just by being smart enough, I could somehow end the bullying I was experiencing, then it would have been easier to overlook the terrifying moral framework the book espouses.

I am entirely with you on this. I even read another book to see if Speaker for the Dead was a fluke. Nope, just terrible writer.
